Jasper just quoted me $2300. for a "Remanufactured" 235. The least expensive "remanufactured" one I've found is from RECON at $1274.88 with a $175.00 core delivered to Advanced Auto....1 year/15K warranty. This is for a long block with block casting #4467,8307, w/head 6848, crank 1488. This is for a hydraulic lifter engine with side motor mount pads designated for a 1958 Biscayne sedan. 145 HP/ 8.5 comp/ratio. Can't say for sure if this engine could be drilled in front for the 2 bolt, single front motor mount.
I sure would like to get some input from one of the stovebolt experts to see if this would slip into my 54 truck with me drilling the front mount bolt holes.
