Pardon my ignorance but exactly what is a 236? I don’t find a reference to it in the GM literature I have access to. No ID success with Google either. Year and model of your truck please.

The "235" engine is actually 235.37 cubic inches. Like Ford and Chevy both did with the "302" V8, if you cheat about half a cubic inch you can use the higher displacement number.

In each new thread, please post manufacturer/make, year, and model truck (if you know these)?

Well, it must be a GMC 236. Not as common but still produced by GMC.
