Presumably, the original 216?

You do not have a "core" of the original?

CHevs of the 40s - approximately $350

Classic Parts - approximately $280

Post the engine serial number that is pressed into the block to the rear of the distributor.

A 235 was not the standard 231 truck engine in 1953.
You should identify the engine before looking for a carburetor.

You might as well ID the engine year and application?

The Engine Serial Number will hold/provide some of that information.
