I know,I know, they are junk !! but I had a some bad with my 47,
it's a low mileage car and I'm trying to keep it as original as possible.
but I dropped a rod.:CRY::CRY:the motor on it now is a 216 with the (wide) side panel, I have motor off a 52 chev and one off a 53 chev. both have
(narrow ) side panel on them, can I use just the block off one of them and
use my head off of mine ?,will the head bolt right on ?? thanks and hope
someone can help...:o:o
Nope! Different block altogether. Use the 235, or find another 216.
Get the GMC 302?
My '53 was a standard shift car with the 216. I think the 235 came out that year in Powerglide cars, but I'm not positive. A '52, I believe, is a 216.
hey a have 5 rods and pistons if needed all usable
both motors that I have are good running motors,got them from friends
that went to different motors,one want with a V8 and the guy went with
a 60s 6 banger ,but as I stated they both have the narrow side panel
below the plugs, my motor has the wide side panel that has holes cut out for
the plugs,thats the only difference I can see,I was hoping to use my head
and use just the block off one of other motors, just to keep it looking original..).how can you tell if it's a 216 or 235 ??)I know this motors will
bolt right on to my cars but it's one of those guy things,**)I guess
if it don't fit I will have to live with it,:CRY:
