Just bought it. The engine is a 50-52 235. Is this a splash fed or full pressure motor? It is a manual. Would a powerglide bolt in without modification? Anyone have a full pressure 235 that runs good? This one is knocking....

Splash oiler. If it is a 235, the it is already a 'Glide engine (manuals had 216s), but it would not be the full pressure. Those came out in '53. The engine should bolt right up with no real issues.

The OOOOOLD cast iron powerglide will bolt up if you have the adaptor ring. I wouldn't rebuild that motor, you'll find a 54 or later one around, mucho better.
