So i pulled the engine took the head off and found that number one piston wrist pin had worked it self out of its original position and made a nice deep groove in the cylinder wall, all other cylinders are good and the head is cracked between the valves. So what am asking is the 235 a good engine and if so im in nebraska and cant find parts or another engine. Need help. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | . . .

The 235 was used in a lot of different Chevys for years, there has to be engine in your neck of the woods.
