I'm thinking about buying this for a future project to replace the 216. This is a '57 model motor. Looking for comments and or suggestions. "235 CIN 1957 STRAIGHT 6, SINGLE CARB, COMPLETE CARB TO PAN. ALSO COMES WITH RADIATOR, OIL FILTER, 3 SPEED TRANS, FLYWHEEL, CLUTCH AND PRESSURE PLATE. $500" 1957 235 straight 6 | | |

That is about the going rate unless it is a recent rebuild. Get an adapter plate from Pre68dave and use the 216 water pump. Front engine plate will have to be drilled to mount up to the old motor mount location. Pretty much down hill from there. Good luck.  | | |

$500 sounds high. Buy it.
