Looking for a 235 out of any year b

[lazys53]

Hey fellas,I got his '53 with the 216, wanna upgrade to full pressure oilling system of a later engine.Like anywhere year between '55-'62. Does anyone have one just taking up space?Or maybe you might know of someone who does.Anyways, I'm from the 1947-1954 part of this website.No luck over there yet,lots of adise,but no engine that is close enough to drive to.Shipping is WAY too expensive.I live in Sparks,NV maybe someone might know someone out this way.I'm willing to travel to California and other close places.Give me a price and we'll go from there. Thanks fellas,---------> lazy

Hate to say I had two, 235 motors and could not give them away,
advertised for the longest time and a guy came from Calif, got one and Hate to say I gave the other to a guy that scrapped metal.
My Brother Inlaw owned Mustang Auto Wreckers a few years back
(Yes, right across from the notorius Mustang Ranch !!!)He's in
Yerington now, but at the time all he delt with pretty much was 55-59 trucks dont know if the place is there but not that far from Sparks
have you checked there for a motor,For what its worth?
Good Luck!
Allen

Another option would be to use a 270. That was a stock option in the late fifties and the same 270 was used into the late 70's. I think the rear mounts are the same and the front mounts are still available readily. I ran mine until my 350 swap with two one barrels and it was a sweet set up.

And, if you want to drive to Montana there are several 235's in salvage yards up here. No idea about their condition.

Hello, just posted a 235 in the for sale section (1958), but it's in Upstate NY. Engine is solid w/ 4 speed, but clutch starting to slip. Was running the truck up to when I pulled the engine this past Saturday. Have video-clip of it running & or photos. make an offer; it is taking up space. Pick up. In any event, hope you find what you need, best regards, David

Lazy, any luck on finding an engine yet? And what condition do you need? I may know of one that's been sitting for a while. I think it's out of a later panel wagon. Also, do you need intake, carb, etc? Let me know, and I'll check on it. I'm in Sacramento, so it's not too far.....Mike

Mike-sorry I haven't checked in on my post....kind of wrote it off for a moment....hey at this point Mike, if I could get 235 out of any year after '55 I'd be in great shape, cuz ALL I want is one with the fully presurized set-up. You know what I mean? Oil pump, filter and I'm set. Because my entensions are to put the 261 cam, solid lifters and 4 bbl carb. set-up. I can use a lil pick me up out here in this DAWM desert (that just happens to be on top of a DAWM mountain). So hopefully I haven't waitted too long, you can also reach me on my email, it would be more easiler,-- [email protected] . Check you out soon, lazy/ Jerry
