"Just think of the boys in WW2 driving chev and gmc army trucks across north africa in high heat with all the dust and sand(let alone combat) and those trucks made it"...Great point Yelotsn78!!!
Go ahead and make the swap if the 235 checks out. I did it and am very happy. As stated, keep the 216 around as many parts can be used. Use this board as a resource and take many, many digital pics as you disassemble and pull the 216 and components. They will be an invaluable resource when it comes time to 'put it back together'. Good luck and keep us posted!
