Will the back plate and timing cover fromm my 1953 216 fit as a replacement for the one on my 1954 235?
I don't want to dismantle the 216 but if I must!!!!!
Thanks
Rich

Good Idea I am reaching out to everyone. I have sent several pMs to folks I know have these engines and to the previous owner of the engine I have. We must have missed this when we were collecting up the parts. He has quite a store house.
Yes I would hate to tear up the old 216 but will if I need to to get my new engine running. I can always put the plate I find on that engine...it is going into storage.
ThanksGuys
Rich
