I was thinking about what you said Mr. Graham, makes me feel a little remorseful on how many 235 engines I've thrown away since the early 70s, if it didn't have a high winding small block in it, it got yanked in all the many vehicles I have owned over the years. As we get older, we get wiser and learn to appreciate things we didn't in our youth. Don't know if I'll ever do anything with the 216 but it will always be there for the next owner if and when the time comes, for right now the 235 hydraulic motor is working really well and I'll be starting my Korean war era truck redo shortly.
