Here is what my "56 Chevrolet Specifications Book" has to say about the 235
HP and Torque.
800 rpm = 90ft lbs = 28HP
1200 = 97 = 44
1600 = 97+ = 60
2000 = 98 = 76
2400 = 97 = 90
2800 = 95+ = 103
3200 = 92 = 114
3600 = 88 = 120
4000 = 81 = 123
4200 = 76 = 121
This is "net torque" and "net HP" which was done under actual operating
conditions using regular muffler, pipes and spark advance.
This should be close to your '53....
