I have been puttering around and have matched both flywheels up they are the same size and tooth count. The 216 flywheel has a bigger clutch and a heavier clutch plate.

Both fly wheels will bolt up to the 235. I plan to use the 216 bell housing and the 235 flywheel and a new clutch set.

It appears that the starter should work as the teeth line up perfectly if I put the flywheels one on top of the other.

I took everything to Chelsea Clutch and had the guy there look everything over to see if I was missing anything.

I know the 54 GMC that this 235 came out of was a 6V stomp start originally.
