The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 216 vs. 235 Intake Port Size Dif

Is 1 3/8" 235 or 216 intake manifold port size? Don't have a manifold or carb handy at the moment to verify myself, so I figured I'd ask the experts. Thanks

Hey Rob. The 1-3/8" ports are 216. The 235 intake ports are 1-1/2". How's the old bolt coming along? Keep us posted on your progress. I love the last few issues of CT. I just renewed my subscription.

R.F.- Thanks to the posts way back when, I decided I needed to check out CT. I'm not in the States too often but next time I'm there I'm going to get one so I can see all latest.

Don't be a stranger. Your input is good.

What is the port size of pre-54 235 heads/manifolds?

I was watching an auction on eBay (sure some of you saw the Sharp dual-carb deal...) but got busy working on the "late-model" C-10 all weekend. Oh, well, $400 wasn't that good of a deal, was it? I'll wait for Patrick's to finish his Fenton 2x1 manifold.

Anyway, the '53 has been enjoying some downtime now that the '75 is painted and back on the road. Spent yesterday rebuilding the gauges with the stuff I bought from Jim Carter. Next is the five-speed swap & Horkey wood kit. Oh, and I also picked up a Walton rear leaf kit. Anxious to get the 6-inch (!) blocks and old springs out. Anyone ever use a Pathfinder rearend in a '47-54? Pulled one from a '52 1/2-ton, but don't know anything in regards to yoke size let alone brake specs.

216 intake ports are 1-7/16" (1.437) and 235 intake ports are 1-17/32" (1.531)
