I know the head is good but I think the crank is bad. I remember seeing a story about using a 235 crank in 216 block. And haveing a full pressure system vs dip and splash. Any help.
Thanks Dave
Stock and loveing it.

As far as a 235 crank going into a 216, I'm not 100% positive but I tink the 235 is longer in length than the 216 block would accomodate. The guys phone number for the 216 if he still has it is 541-826-5117. Thats here in southern Oregon. I tried to turn the engine with my hands and the belt broke but it started to move so I think it is not froze up.

You can have it if you come and get it. If you want parts for your 235 I ahve most of one left from my transplant for my 46.

An expert machinest friend had to modify one bearing web to make it fit plus some other items. So it should work with bearing modifications but the 235 has a longer stroke so that would all have to be worked out.
Should be much easier to find another 216 crank or better yet find a complete 235 motor. There are lots more reasons for NOT messing with the 216s or high torque 235s, very low compression for one. | | |
