I have a 41 chevy, special deluxe, with an original 216.
What exactly is needed to do a swap with a 235...i.e. new engine mounts, new flywheel, etc?
I just want to calculate the total cost of putting in a 235 and get it going, vs. the machine shop work that is needed to fix the 216.
Thanks,

Is there another engine that fits as easily?
If not, what is needed to swap the 216 with the 235? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 623 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 623 | I think tclederman was directing you to the link above the quote, Judson. That's a really helpful article at that link. BTW, I've got a 235 and I like it.
