Wished you had not posted this one. I've been wrestling with this for three years now and have been restoring everything around mine. It turns but has not run in well over 20 years. The debate goes on.....rebuild it to keep it original or just go with a 235? I just keep hoping someone around here or on e-bay decides to "upgrade" their 216 they just rebuilt. That's when I'll be taking a road trip. Shortly after I got my truck three years ago I saw a beautiful 216 that was freshly rebuilt even with new gray paint and all the bolt-ons that ended up going on e-bay for under $1000. I'm still kicking myself for not bidding! You can see it in my "Details" photo album and the picture name is 216.
