Late 55 to 62 engines have a lower water pump location and they require an adapter plate to use the 216 water pump and position the fan correctly. That's a simple conversion, so don't reject a freebie because it has the low water pump.
1941-53 truck 235's are just overgrown 216's with a taller engine block- - - -spray-oiler rods and all. There's a 1950-53 235 car engine with hydraulic lifters that's an oddball variant used in cars with Powerglide transmissions, also a spray-oiler. Jerry
