Yes, and it also increases the displacement of the "216" because of the longer stroke of the 235 crankshaft. Buick 215 aluminum V8 pistons are used to compensate for the longer stroke. A 60 overbore and the 235 crank makes the "216" a pressure-lubed 235, without changing the outward appearance of the 216 engine. A Melling M-29 oil pump (same as a 54/55 235) is a drop-in fit to provide the oil volume needed by the pressure lubed crankshaft and rods.

Have to modify that Buick piston and/or connecting rods to make the pistons work? I remember you talking about this, just can’t recall all the specifics.
