The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 216 Intake & exhaust manifold on 235, will it work

For me there were a couple of reasons. I had the complete manifold and carburetor assemblies both the 216 and 235.

One was the straight down exhaust on the 216 was a direct bolt up to my stock exhaust pipe. Two was the '53 235 had a primitive automatic choke and I wanted to stay with a manual choke. And 3 was the horn mounting boss on the 216 that I wanted.

I'm fairly sure that I have sacrificed some performance, but then just how fast do you want to go with a fairly stock '41 while setting on top of the gas tank.
