Although, the 216s and older 235s are often referred-to as being "splash oilers", real splash-oil lubrication is an even more primative oil system than the low-pressure rod-bearing dipper and directed-open-spray lubrication system. What is a "bigend 235"?

Here is a description of a conversion technique.

I apologize - that technique is for full-flow oil filtration (mistakenly termed full-pressure) . Maybe someone will post a link to an insert rod bearing and pressure feed/lubrication conversion?

Here's how a well-heeled hot rodder did it in the golden age:
From Wayne catalog(circa 1954).

I see from the Inliner's page that Beck's machine shop still does the conversion.
