If the 230 is any good it will be much more pleasant to drive. They are quieter and have close to 50% more power in stock form than most stock (let alone wore out) 235s. There's also more speed parts available for them. The only downside is the fabrication required to mount it. It would be worth it in my opinion.

1950 4100 - unrestored and driven weekly for almost no reason at all.
