I've gone so far in looking for a clutch chatter problem that I might as well swap out the 216 for this 235 I have. It's from a 1957 Bel Air. I'll keep my 216 clutch setup and swap over to 12v. I was getting ready to solve the oil leak problem on the 216 before installing the new clutch when I remembered I just bought this 235 a couple months ago. I trust the guy I bought it from; he said it runs fine. Question: Removing and replacng the rear main on the '57 235 while on the engine stand; do I follow the same procedures as in the truck? That is lower the crank a notch and r&r the seals then re-torque the crank. Or is there an easier way with the engine out of the truck. I figured that I would replce the primary oil seals on the new engine; rear main, pan, timing gear, rockers, valve cover. Anything else I should do to the 235 first?
