Will the manifolds from an earlier 235 engine with babbit bearings fit on a later model with the insert bearings. I have a 235 motor from the very late 50s or very early 60s but no manifolds. I know where several manifolds are available, but they are all from 53 or earlier model trucks. All these trucks were either
1 1/2 ton or 2 ton trucks. Thanks. Allen

Since the aftermarket manifolds are advertised as fitting 216-261 engines, I would assume the the earlier manifolds would work by leaving out the inserts, but I haven't tried it.

Didn't someone just ask this the other day? Try the search feature and see if you can find the post. I seem to recall something about the alignment rings...??
