My recollection is a little rusty, but I don't think your 235 starter will work with the v8 bellhousing. Hopefully, somebody else will chime in here because I have only 70% confidence in my answer.

Swap your front housing and it should work. Actually you can do this with very many General Motors starters. You might want to sand the commutator and put in new brushes while it is apart and put a little grease in front and rear bushings.

no - 6 cyl starter is foot stomp and v8 starters are solenoid [key switch] operated
