Actually, I think it has 3 more bolts (based on a Fel Pro gasket torque
diagram, not personal experience.)
I have the Fel Pro diagrams on my website showing the torque sequence of the
head bolts on the 216 and both types of 235s (early and late.) This will
also give you the approximate location and the number of head bolts that
need to be removed.
