Does anyone have Information on Canadian 235's from a 53 chev belair std transmission. My GM repair manual says this engine should be a dipper/splash oil system. But it is actually a full lubrication system as found on the 53 powerglides and later. The engine is stamped 753435 (just above dipstick). This same engine stamp is found on the firewall serial# plate. The reason I ask is I just got the engine running after a rebuild, and blew the main bearings within 30 minutes of running. I havent gotten the engine fully apart yet, but think possibly the shimms or bearing that were ordered originally would have been for the american engine and do not fit properly for mine. The parts book at the canadian part store I use are american distributers. Any info on this engine would help.
