Stovebolt.com Forums The Shop Area The Engine Shop 1957 235

Hey guys, I found this 1957 235 removed from a car.
Fella that owned it owns a engine rebuild shop and sold it
to me as running. Fingers crossed. Removed from his wife's car.
Will I have any trouble matching this up in my 1958 3100 panel truck?
I have it on a stand and will start cleaning in.
I have a new carb purchased here on the Bolt. Jon. G.
Flywheel is being turned and I have new pressure plate and clutch.
I have three 3 speed transmission to chose from. 2 being original
and the other a Warner 3 speed OD. Anything I should be concerned with? thanks!!!!

Why was it removed from the car?

She went with an eight cylinder.
Nice guy. I gave him the 1959 283 I had here.

Is that your company?

No man ,that is his company. Sorry about the confusion.

I am guessing there is nothing to be concerned with.
This is the other 235 I have that is locked.
I can use it for parts if I need to.

Its a bolt in swap as long as both are manual transmissions. It will be great if that OD trans. is good.

Thanks George!! Yep the OD I just dropped out of my 58
and put in a M-22 RC.
The OD works great and a floor shift.

Here are some pics of the 235 before I paint.
Someone at some point added another exhaust flange to the header.
Is this a good idea? I have another cast iron header to use from the 58.

It’s similar to the way a corvette from the same era had dual exhaust. To many, it’s the preferred way as you still have the heat riser. If it was done correctly, there should be a divider plate inserted in the manifold separating the front two ports from the rear.
