Thanks to all who responded to my message about needing a 235. I expected
to pay between $50 to $100 for an unknown but probably rebuildable 235.
$400 is too much unless the history is known. I'll stop by Heavy Chevy and
see what they have.

For all its worth, I pay $50.00 for a rebuildable 235 engine. The salvage
yards just dont help you pull them. So, its labor intensive but really
pretty cheap. To be honest tho, this is totally untested and the head could
be cracked, or the block overbored. If you can get one with a known history
for around $250, that wouldnt be too bad.
