Ok The first 235 that came with the truck poped a piston on the way home from buying it.
The second one I found in a bush 16 yrs ago.
long story but I will tell it if you want.
It lasted all summer. Died on the 10th bringing my quad home from a day at the quarry.
Have not tore into it yet to see the problem.
I built (not alone) a 350ci 4 bolt main 5 yrs ago. But I sold it to a friend. He was supose to put it in a 81 chev 1/2 ton. That never happened. I got it back for helping him put in floor boards for his mustang. which I would have helped do anyways.
Don't really know what I got yet.
350
4 bolt main
high volume oil pump
double roller timing chain crane
new fuel pump
I was told the heads are 883's but I don't know what that means
edelbrock performer intake, air breather, chrome valve covers.
new cam all I know is its a highenergy. The heads were built to match.
By the way I am a bodyman not a engine builder.
I can put stuff together if somebody tells me what to put in I follow.
the motor has yet to run in a truck.
