inliners.org has all the casting numbers. not all 235s are the same... there are early and late ones. I believe that the pans are the same though. You have to go by the casting numbers. You can put a valve cover with the 2 center holes onto any 235.

A quick way to tell a 235 from a 216 is that the side cover on a 216 is taller and includes the spark plug holes... a 235 side cover is short and bolts up welll below the spark plugs
