Does the 53 chevy 216 use the same rochester carb as the 56 235?
Thease are truck engines, carbs are manual chokes
I can't find any part numbers on either carb.
Thanks for your help.

Yes and no.Up till 1949 they had the same bolt pattern on the bottom.Starting in 1950 the 235 started using a larger bolt pattern.You can slot the bolt holes in the carb.base if you are in a pinch,but not recemended.There is some parts that interchange between the two size carbs.

The different bolt pattern is a clue to the fact that the throttle bores and venturi diameters are going to be different also.
The throttle bodies can be swapped around, but it's not ideal to do this.
