The Stovebolt Site Forums Swap Meet Truck Parts For Sale 235 Cylinder Head, etc. - updated with more pictures

I have scrapped the 235 engine I previously listed but retained the following items for potential sale if anyone is interested. In keeping with forum rules I have listed prices for the items but I have not researched pricing and am therefore willing to consider any offers. I do have some pictures and can get specific pictures of anything that is required to help move these parts out of my storage area (I don't have a need for any of them). All prices are cash or paypal and do not include shipping.

Cylinder head - 848 with rocker shaft and rockers. $100
Starter - engine was in theory converted to 12v but I did not clean off the tag to confirm if the starter was changed (level of crud etc. would indicate it was not). $25
Intake and exhaust manifold - heat riser is free to move - $35 Sale Pending
Carburetor - Rochester - $25
Distributor - complete with advance mechanism - $35
Bell Housing - previous had 4 - speed transmission attached - $25
Flywheel - I did not check the number of teeth on the ring gear, brief inspection did not show cracks or heat checking, clutch surface seems okay. $35
Clutch - lining material looks okay but probably would need to be relined. $25

Is the engine block beyond help for some reason?

Engine block (with all it's internal components) was scrapped earlier this week.

"Another one bites the dust!" Too bad I'm not closer to you, I would have been glad to have it!

This is the manifold as it sits. The oil filter assembly could be removed if not desired. There is a casting number on the intake portion that I believe is 3B35590.

The intake manifold is more likely "3835590" which is listed in my resource references as used on 1948-56 235's.

The exhaust manifold casting number "3835587" is also confirmed as being listed for 1948-56 235's.

Looks like a matched set ready to find a new home.

Best if luck!

Manifold sale is pending. Everything else is still available.

Adding pictures of the flywheel, and clutch disk. The pressure plate attaches to the flywheel with 9 bolts and the disk is approx. 11" in diameter.

WICruiser,

There should be a casting number and casting date code on the other side of the flywheel. If you post those, we can confirm if it's a 6 or 12 volt piece.

THIS TECH TIP shows an easy way to figure out if you have a 6-volt or 12-volt flywheel. It just takes a tape measure or caliper.

Here is a picture of the other side of the flywheel. The best I can determine there are 3 sets of numbers: GM 35; 839754 777; and D8 6 (??).

That casting number 839754 777 is the same as the 9 bolt clutch flywheel I have that has the 139 teeth for 6-volt starters. I suspect that the D8 6 is the date code, meaning April 8 1946. If it were 1956 it would be a 12V. You can be sure by counting the teeth.

The casting number "839754" with 9 bolt clutch is associated with 1942-53 Chevy All Passenger and 1/2 ton trucks with heavy duty clutch.

D 8 6 = April 8th, 1946 casting date.

The applicable vehicles and casting date would make this a confirmed 6 volt flywheel.

Hope that helps make a sale for you.

Dan got there with the date code info as I was editing. The fact that it's a 9 bolt clutch flywheel will make it a little more difficult to sell, as 9-bolt pressure plates are bordering on unobtanium.

I am not sure about the D 8 6, but I did count 139 teeth. I will measure the distance across 9 teeth (ir is it 10?) per the Tech Tip to see if I can confirm its for a 6v or 12v starter.

I do have the pressure plate but I have no experiencce to know if it is serviceable.

Sometimes pressure plates (the contact plate itself) can be resurfaced too. Or if one can find a replacement (I easily found 3 different sellers on ebay at the moment - see below), you can get an NOS replacement "contact plate" and provide it with the existing pressure plate assembly to a rebuilder for restoring to as new condition.

A check of some Chevy Master Parts Books shows the clutch pressure plate assembly for your 9-bolt "heavy duty" unit to be cast on it as "838949" (at least on earlier 1938-52 heavy duty pressure plates), which matches all the ones I found offered in these sales:

5 available at $27 + shipping - Located in Tonganoxie, KS (not far from me)

1 available at $69.95 + shipping - Located in Eldorado, KS at Bowtie Bits (which is now owned by Jim Carter)

1 available at $45.00 + shipping - Located in Olney, IL

Just my $.02 worth, but I'd offer the flywheel, clutch plate and pressure plate as a package deal. Or at least the clutch plate and pressure plate as they can both be rebuilt/restored.

Resurfacing a pressure plate won't necessarily fix it if the springs are shot. But those can probably be rebuilt. If you've got the whole thing, offer them that way.
Dan, were you able to find a complete clutch cover assembly (what I usually call a pressure plate)? I may have found one rebuilt clutch kit for the 11-inch clutch, But it seems to have only 6 bolts for the cover.
