It's possible to put a full pressure 235 crankshaft into a 216 by either widening the thrust bearing faces on the 235 crank, or narrowing the #3 216 block main bearing web to take the 235 thrust bearing. It's also possible to get a LOT more stroke from a 235 crankshaft- - - - -like 4 1/8" or even 4 1/4" stroke by offset grinding the rod journals and using a smaller rod bearing. Stovebolt crankshafts are forged steel, not cast iron, and they're tougher than woodpecker lips!
