Currently, I'm building a spray-oiler 235 engine for a 1951 Chevy 2 ton grain truck. It's been working on the same farm in central Oklahoma since the current owner's grandfather bought it in 1955. It's getting the pressurized 235 crankshaft modification, with 1954-62 insert bearing connecting rods and aluminum pistons, and a reground camshaft that has the same specifications as a 261 truck engine. There's also going to be a full circle lip crankshaft oil seal to replace the leaky rope seal. I've got a fixture I built to mount my Van Norman cylinder boring bar to the back of the block to cut the counterbore for a double lip neoprene seal.
