I’ve seen it recommended to use your 216 thermostat housing on a 235 swap. Seems the upper hose may require use of it. I put the 235 housing next to the one on my 216 and can’t tell any difference. Do I have to swap them out?

I'm using the 216 therm housing on my 261 so that stock 216 hose will connect to your stock radiator.

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission!
