OP krnut Grease Monkey Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 30 dayton ohio	I have a 53 chev pickup with a 216 in it.Is it possible to switch to a 51 235 from a car or a 235 from a 55 suberban?. Will the front mount from the 216 adapt to the 235 engine? the car engine has side mounts and the 55 engine has a different type of front mount setup from the eway it looks. Are the front covers interchangable to allow a swap? thanks krnut krnut
