I have a 58 fleetside with a 235. alot of the guy's around here tried to talk me into swapping for a 350 with an auto tranny. but you know there are alot of 350's out there and not alot of 235's left, so i think i'll be different and keep it. Besides there are enough mod's i can do to my 235 to make it a very interesting ride.
plus pound for pound the 235 is one of the most reliable engines ever produced.
