what is the best way to drain the entire cooling system, block and all, on a 235?

Get some radiator flush follow directions.drain the system by opening the draincock on the bottom of the radiator and the one on the side of the block(may have a plug in the place where a draincock can go). There should be one on each side of a V-type engine,but on your 235 it will be on the driver-side toward the rear of the engine.(you can install draincocks in the place you removed the plugs).
Put in some radiator sealer/conditioner and add 50/50 mix of antifreeze/water. cool


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.

Usually that draincock on the block is plugged up. If so just remove the draincock and poke and prod the hole in the block with a small screwdriver till you get the coolant to flow out.
