Thanks Dan. In the future I will start my own thread. I cleaned off the engine serial number plate, and the serial number is 0739669F54X. If I am correct, then the engine is a 1954 235, originally installed in a Thriftmaster. I will post some pictures. I would still be interested in any feedback from the members. I was told that the intake manifold was cracked when I bought it. I have a 1948 216 that is stuck. Would it be possible to use the intake off the 216 on the 235?
