A 216 will also bolt in, with a considerable amount of power loss. Late 55 and newer 235s have a lower water pump position which makes the fan sit too low on the radiator and hit the lower radiator hose. Late model engines can be modified with a water pump relocating plate that allows the 216/early 235 water pump to be installed on them. Some later engines also need the front motor mount relocated.
