Update on my 48 Chevy COE 235 engine project. I've located a slightly newer 235 out of a 47-53 3100 pickup. It has the shorter valve lifter cover that doesn't go up around the spark plugs. It's listed as a 54 to 62 motor, I haven't seen the numbers yet. I can get it reasonable and it turns freely. It may need some work but my old one would need a total rebuild too if I ever got it freed up which looks difficult. My question is would you see any issues using this for a core? I know I'll need to use an updraft intake and I don't think mine is useable because it's broken out where it attaches to the exhaust manifold so I'll be looking for one of those too, my carburator should be useable. Thanks
