I think the biggest modification (or not)would be the front plate. Your donor 235 possibly had side mounts and not have the 2 square holes in the front plate under the balancer to mount in your truck. The plate can be swapped with your 216 one but that involves huge work including pulling the cam. Just flipping it over and drilling the holes is the easiest way but be careful of thier position. I had mine off the engine for that modification but here's what you need to do if they're not there:
