The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop installing a late 235 inplace of a 216

I think that you will use everything from the engine block back, from the 216. You can use the two studs that hold the 216 valve cover on to mount it on the 235 and then it looks almost identical. Also, with one of Pre68 Dave's water pump adapters, you can use the 216 water pump and have no clearance issues at all.
