i can't find any articles saying this is true, 235's up to 1962 seem to me the correct swap

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Your tranny should bolt up to the bell-housing, the 230 used the SM-420. Better engine than the 235, but not as good as the 250 or 292. Depending on the budget, I would go with a 261 if I wanted to stay with the existing mounts, or a 250 or 292 if I were willing to change the mounts.
