Do you have the early ("Hi-Torque") 235? There are a few to be found (among the 216's) on this thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=19235

 

1958 235

 

And try a search too!

Here is my 261 ....enjoy

 

Here is the last 235 I built... Edmunds intake, Fenton dual exhaust, McGurk valve cover, full flow spin on oil filter

 

@melsfine39 man that motor is cherry love that head cover did you make that yourself???

 

@ robleticia I love that intake and header combo,fenton??? and your spark plug wires look awesome...

 

@ Carguy365-24-7 I like that valve cover is that a Wayne???and love the carbs and the original grey color..thanks

 

@ jeffs sleds where can I find an intake + carbs like that???and I'm definitely asking for Fentons this christmas ....thanks

 

Anyone running straight pipes on these motors???if so what size and how does it sound??

 

The piece that covers the area around the sparkplugs came from Langdons stovebolt engine co. Mel

 

My valve cover is an offenhauser part w/matching side cover and intake.The paint is from Bill hirsh http://www.hirschauto.com/prodinfo.asp?number=EE-QUART&variation=CHV%20GREY I like it ,it went on well. PAUL

 

Milled my own stuff to replace the tin.

 

They don't come much nicer detailed than this! I sure would like to see more.

 

I haven't finished with painting and detailing mine yet, but here are a couple of pics anyway.

 

Got most of my speed parts from my dad. Fenton exhaust is easy to find 'cause they repop it. The intake is tougher to find, though i have seen a few at the Long Beach swapmeet the last couple of times. Carns are from early fords. Stuffs out there just gotta go hunting for it...

 

@"Mo, I added a few pics to an album in my profile.

 

Trying to make a 235 look like a 216

 

Thanks, man. Truly beautiful!

 

Here is mine, and yes it runs better than it looks!!!!

 

Okay ill check it out there..Whens the next swapmeet??

 

here is a few shots of my 235....running a 54' corvette header and i just got a matched set of carters for the McGurk intake in the one photo.. that will all be done this fall.....i hope.

 

@'Mo is that a Mcgurk intake and where did youpick up the aircleaners from???your motor is clean as it gets man...thanks

 

nice valve cover......

 

Here's mine 292, done to the nuts, with a t-5
