I have used a few 216 pans on 1953-54 full pressure 235s but you need to cut the dipper troughs out.

I am going to pull that pan of of my 50 216 motor and try it.
If I have to modify it. It will be better then severly smashed 235 pan.
thanks again | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,927 | Aren't the ends of the pans different where it is round to fit up to the main caps? Maybe the later pans are improved for a better fit...
Good luck
