Your 216 bell housing will bolt right up to the 235. Search around here in the forums, this is a pretty popular upgrade. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | The main problem will be the water pump issue, but it really isn't much of an issue and is easily fixed. Read the forums, there is a ton of info in here. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 25 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 25 | If I go the other way and put an novz rearend and driveline

Do you have an original 3-speed or a 4-speed? The the original 3-speed will not work with an open drive shaft. The original 4-speed can be adapted to an open driveshaft but wait to hear first-hand opinions on this.
