I heard there is a modification to the fan or water pump to account for the engine difference but I wasn't 100% certain exactly what the modification was. The 235 comes with a transmission so this *may* negate the need to source/swap the bellhousing.
The casting number on the block of the 235 is: 5843350,
The 216 has no casting number but does have a shop plate in place of the casting number (at least in the same position as the casting number on the 235) so it was rebuilt at least once. This plate is as follows:
Workshop: 204
Date: 27-3-60
Inspected: WSO
Engine Number: 17808
Bore: 0.40
Mains: 0.30
Throws: 0.30
I must say I am overwhelmed with the help as well as the amazing information. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
Thank you.
