It came out of a 1940 pick-up. My manifold on my 52'235 is cracked. Is the manifold off of the 216 interchangable? And what other parts can be interchangable? That motor last ran about 4 weeks ago. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | I think they will bolt up but I also think there is a difference in port size and perhaps spacing. Not sure if the 216 intake uses the rings or not. Since 235 manifolds are so easy to come by why would you use 216 parts? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 565 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 565 | Moneypit, For the sole reason that the engine was given to me free of charge and saw an opportunity to try to use what I had. I actually saved it from the junkyard. I was not sure if it could be used or not. Thanks for the input,I'm sure there will be many more questions along the way. If that is the case, I will continue the search for the 235 manifold. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | Exhaust manifolds up to 1948 have a straight down exit, later ones angle back.
216s have a smaller intake port size and carb mount size but can be used.
