Yes, plus a displacement bump with the 235 crankshaft. (230 cubic inches) I've got a couple of 216 conversions on the drawing board with increased bore and stroke, that gets a stock-appearing 216 up to 250+ cubic inches. A 235 with the same modified crankshaft and diesel pistons goes to 270 cubic inches and a 261 goes to almost 300.

A 216 with a 90.5 MM Mitsubishi K4N diesel piston and a 4 3/8" stroke 235 crankshaft goes to 261 cubic inches.

That requires a LOT of creative metal butchering, though! Of course, beating your buddies pulling a long hill in high gear with a stock-appearing "216" is priceless!
