It has taken me a long time, but I finally got a 235 for my 57. It is a 1955 235 a guy took out to have rebuilt. While it was being rebuilt he ended up putting a 350 in his so when he got the 235 back from being rebuilt he stored it in his garage. A guy I know told me he had it and would sell it for less than he had in it to recoupe some of his money. Its been setting for a few months but I finally have a new rebuilt motor. It even came with new plugs,wires,distributor,coil,rebuilt generator,new water pump,new thermostat, a good carburator & manifold,3 spd transmission & a spare steering column with a near perfect steering wheel. I think I did OK for $1800.

I think you came out pretty good on that deal, I just had a 235 completely rebuilt and converted to full-flow, also had the head redone. After I got it installed the generator was shot so I had to add a rebuilt to the list. Came to over $2000 in the end.
