Hi Dave,
Thanks for your response.
Your answer is what I was looking for, though not what I was hoping to hear. I could have sworn there was a "adaptor" to allow the newer transmission to bolt up to the enclosed drive shaft. Alas, such is not my luck. LOL :-) The existing transmission is a 4 speed non-syncro (crashbox?) which is fine. I grew up on a farm so I am familiar with how to shift it without TOO much grinding. I was just hoping to be able to use the 3 speed that is coming with the 235 motor without having to jump through Too many hoops. The 4 speed does not allow the pedal assembly to mate up to the current bell housing on the 216 motor 100% and I will need to make some type of bracket to secure it to the bell housing as suggested by another SB member. Currently the pedal assembly is only secured by the pedal shafts into the transmission... the bolt holes connecting the pedal assembly to the bell housing do not line up.
