Does anyone have any suggestions as to vendors or members that could have one available? Thanks for your time.

You may try the Swap Meet section of the forum and cruise Craigslist or ebay. I search the former periodically and there seems to be a 235 popping up pretty regularly. Good luck!

Longbox, they tried to weld it after the magnaflux showed some issues and it was too far gone. I found a company in Charlotte n.c. that has new ones with mains for $422.86......that is a budget buster for me on this little inline six.
Also checking with a Chevy boneyard in FL to see what can be done.
If anyone else has a source.....please post up. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Are the new ones NOS or newly made. I think we would all be interested in the answer. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | Jim Carter sells short blocks call mabe they have a crank out of a bad block ,the blocks are cheap anyway .They are listed in there 47 to 54 cat.
