Default 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
