Need to know if the dipsticks are the same. My 235 didn't have one so just wondering if I can swap the 216 to the 235.
Thanks.

As for a direct fit it, depends on the year.

I'd say NO two different anamals, 235 would be much longer.

As Dave posted, it depends upon the year, but, apparently, not on the engines within a given year (216s and 235s in the same years apparently used the same tube/stick):

Making a blanket statement about 235 engines is misleading (and usually wrong): 235 engines were available from 1941-62 and had a variety of differences between 53 and 55.

1.516: "gauge" rod lengths are shown separate from the tube lengths. Also, see the note at the bottom/end of that section (for trimming the stick/rod/"gauge").
