That engine is not a US made 216. The US 216 had a sidecover that extended to the top of the head and the side of the block and head were designed for that. That engine also appears to have a more modern type valvecover on it. The Canadian 216s did have the same appearance as the 235s of the era. This included not having the external oil line on the driver's side. I must say though that there was some nice detailing done on the engine.
