i thought i had a i/e manifold for a 235 but i may be for a different motor. the casting #s are exhaust 9836988, intake 3836527. the ports line up on the head of my 235 but the spacing of the studs on the heat exchange is off. so a 235 heat exchange gasket does not work. the 235 studs are 2 1/8" apart while the mystery manifold has a stud spacing of 2.5". i found this out after i paid to have the nmystery manifold milled flat. i'd like to use the mystery manifold if i can find the right heat exchange gasket. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | Try a gasket for 216 a felpro 8597 The intake/exhaust ports do line up but they are diffrent diameters link for 216 gasket

i was just using the search function and a few old threads i read prompted me to measure the ports. just like you said, they are smaller diameter. i had not noticed that at first.
what a bummer. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 4,263 | You can still use that manifold,
you may have to have some port alignment rings made or just eliminate them.

Re-check those casting numbers.
Also, 216 and 235 manifolds have different heat exchangers.
I don't think they will bolt together.

i have a propper 235 i/e manifold combo that i think i'll use. i'd rather not restrict the air flow any more then stock with the 216 set.
i wish i had not assumed the 216 i/e manifold was a 235 before i had i milled. lesson learned. | | |
