Hi Rusty
Try Google on Jim Carter Classic Truck Parts.
The engine in these trucks is different from the Chev blitz engine in parts like water pump , block , crank , pistons and head but I am sure you were aware of that. Regards Jim S

235 ci engine
Some of those Lend Lease Chevs have the 235 ci engine fitted, still with the same dipper big end lubrication the 216 has. The post war 235 ( 53 on ?) is a completely different engine .
I wish I had a dollar for every Lend Lease Chev I have seen ... they must have sold thousands of them here . I recall some original ones on the road still , back in the 1970's ,with their wartime issued number plates , typically with a E or F two letter prefix .One I recall ( a tipper ),had a FU prefix and you can imagine the sitirring it provoked . Mike

The 216 has the side cover that goes on the block and head where the 235 just goes on the block. The 235 splash oiler has the oiling plate on the block the same as the 216 while the 235 pressure oiler doesn't have it.

Splash 216 vs splash 235 , 1942/49
There is very little difference if any externally on the two engines , both have
full side plates , splash feed , flat top pistons and 2 hole waterpump. One has a 3.5 " bore where as the other 3 9/16" . But from what I have read the push rods are different length , the 235 being about 1/8" longer ( same as GMC ), I have not proved this as yet , if so this would be an easy way to check just remove the tappett cover and extract a push rod. Yankee Joe trucks were equipped with 235's , it's a pity the Blitz did not use them especially in the 3 tonners. Regards Jim S

The only splash 235s I've seen were 1950 to 1953 models so that's why Jim's and my answers differ.

Splash 235
David
I am not sure of the exact year but Splash 235's came out with the short side plate , I think this was in the ealy 50's so this would match up with your description in an earlier post . As you mentioned the way to I.D. a splash fed engine is to look for the kidney shaped oil plate under the exhaust manifold. Regards Jim S.
