About a year ago I recall reading a pretty involved thread about this here on the 'Bolt, being true.
Here is the URL for a past thread here at the 'Bolt on this:

The Topic:
Topic: New 235???
If the URL does not work... go to search, search in the 'engine and driveline' forum - with keywords: toyota gm 235 sold
I also read an article in... I believe it was 4 wheel and off road... sometime in the past 18months I want to say, where they mentioend some details about the old toyota trucks that used this engine as well.
In that thread it was also mentioned that the Soviet Union swiped the 235 design as well and used it in some of their military trucks. The reaosn this came up is someone was on, or had been on an old military base or something and there was for some reason old soviet truck iron around... I forget the details. However, they said 'gee, that looks like an old GM I-6' so they went to the parts store, got soem 235 parts and got it fired up.
I think it is time to accumulate all of the information about this and compile a tech article.
