Are there any differences between '56 and '58 235 car engines? I have a '56 235 car engine in my '53 3100, and I have the opportunity to get another 235 out of a '58 car. It would be nice to get it for a spare as long as there are no major differences. Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

There is a slight difference in the way oil gets to the rockers starting in 1958 but no big deal.
Starting in 1958 all blocks are drilled to supply oil to hydraulic lifters, whether they were used or not(part of the new oiling system mentioned above).
1958 will have center side mount provisions, you will not use or need.
Good choice for an engine.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
