So today i was at a friends farm shop to fix some arcade games and pinballs and was watching them pull a 216 out of an old fork lift and putting in a 235 with a 848 head and factory split exhaust. but they are not going to use the split exhaust so i saw them toss it to the side complete with intake. i asked about it and they gave it to me. now the question is do i use the factory split or the new fetons. this will be going in to a '49 3100 with a 261 3 on the tree. I will get the #s off the 235 when i go back tomorrow.

and the casting number on the intake.
Then we can tell you what you have and
which one you should use.

That alone is a good reason to run the factory setup.
