I had engine parts on hand from re-doing a 56 4400 back in '86, a 6848 head that I had a valve job done on, it's 3754644 low box manifold and valve cover. All showing blue paint and dated 1959. I had bought a'57 235 complete from fan to clutch for $50. Sprayed a healthy dose of WD40 in each cylinder, hooked up jumpers to the starter and voila... no compression and I could hear the death-nock. These would supply parts for the build. The star of the show is a 235 from a '57 Nomad that a local Chevy mechanic had rebuilt. Bored .030 and had a valve job. When the exhaust manifold cracked he pulled it and put in a dreaded small block. Bought the engine for $100 in 1998. All this stuff had been sitting around waiting for now. The pics are the blown 235 and the head/short block from the Nomad.
