Thanks for your positive support guys .
I know this is the find of the century for me .
As some of you will know , my truck is my daily driver and shop hack . I have been wearing out the original engine for a while now and this has come at a very opertune time.
Although I like to look at museum pieces , in a museum , OCASSIONALLY .
I LOVE driving the '40 ALL the time .
So the engine will be put to good use .
bjrj51 ,, well spotted , this is indeed a 235 , I am expecting much better towing capabilities now
.
FredT ,, the sump gauge set is for the 216 , and I plan to copy it off and make a few .
I really would like to find someone with a 235 set to compare dimensions and differences .
The main difference , from my calculations , seems to be the extra length of the stroke on the 235 ...... any one out there with the 235 set ??
Truckernix ,, thanks for the considerate thought but since I have posted this on an open forum ,, I guess anyone is open to do what they like with it , and that's ok with me.
