R.F.,
Congratulations on your manifold. I don't think that any Tattersfield produced any intakes for the 235. I think this was mainly due to the fact that they went out of business before Chevy introduced the 235. Consequently, like you found out, your 235 carbs will not fit the Tattersfield without modification. You can either use a pair of 216 carbs, modify the 235 carb bases to fit or fill the stud holes on the manifold and redrill and tap new holes that fit the 235 bases.
In addition, the intake ports on the 235 head are larger than the ports on the 216 Tattersfield intake. The ports on the Tattersfield can be machined to fit the ports on a 235 head or you can buy adapter rings. I believe that Buffalo Enterprises make such rings.
Secondly, the Tattersfield will not bolt up to a stock 235 exhaust manifold without modification. This is because the mounting holes do not line up. The holes on the intake can be elongated to fit the 235 exhaust manifold.The manifold problem dosen't really matter if you are installing headers.
Since it won't fit a 235 without modification, maybe you would consider giving it to another bolter? Maybe someone like me?
Congratulatiuons again on your find.
Jon
