Might have found a pretty sweet deal on a “low pressure” 235. Running the block code on Tim’s site reveals it’s a 1951 235 that would have been fitted to a powerglide. It was allegedly rebuilt some years ago and but never installed. I’m not factoring that story into the purchase price, but it does seem to have been torn down and painted anyway.

Hypothetically, what all would it take to make this oddball thing work in an AD truck with a manual transmission? I think a guy has to remove the timing cover to make a front engine mount? What has to happen (if it’s even possible) at the tail end of the motor?

This is mostly just for curiosity. There’s about a 3% chance of me actually doing this. And I’m aware of the questionable wisdom of not just installing a full pressurized 235 instead.
