I'm rebuilding a 235 from a 61 chevy truck to put in my 49 Styleline car. I've read the tech tips article on putting a remote oil filter and full flow oiling system on a 235.
The 235 has been taken apart and will be taken to a machine shop for checking over, cleaning up, and doing any work that needs to be done before putting it back together with new parts as needed. It has been rebuilt at least once before and is bored 40 0ver. I would like eventually to have this become a daily driver so I want to do what is best for the engine. My questions here are:
1. Has anyone done this conversion and could give me tips and suggestions including parts needed?
2. Does anyone have pictures of the finished conversion including the location of the filter, etc.?
3. Now here's the one that will get the most action...does anyone have opinions on this conversion or not doing it?
4. I'm looking for a good shop to do the work needed to get this engine running anyway. Does anyone have an engine shop in the western suburb of Chicago that would do this conversion?
Thanks for the help.
