What he said. Hood to fender fit will ultimately be what makes or breaks acceptability in your eye. If I'd seen a beer fridge in the pics I might...
In my experience the "adjust by bending" linkage is what prevents them from singing in harmony and staying there. Here's a useful article:...

When my truck had a 216 I was gentle with it for many of the reasons brought up in this thread. As soon as I had a rebuilt 235 on standby in the...
That's odd... I see that garbage everywhere. Home depot, Lowes, etc. all sell carbon steel cutting tools which should always be avoided.
Make sure the fuel line isn't touching or too close to a heater hose. Routing the in line immediately away from the block and over to the frame...
Jim Carter sells a hose specifically for this purpose. Maybe it's the same one you bought. Part #ME239 $22.00 A formed black hose made...

As a general rule a bolt reaches its full holding power when the length of engagement is equal to or greater than the diameter. A 7/16" ? bolt...
You are absolutely right in that the drill will follow the path of least resistance which will be 1/2 the ovality. If the bore were worn .010" all...
Just out of curosity what was the kit worth? I paid $400 from manifold to tips installed and thought I got good value and a clean setup. Here's a...
I'm running a '55 235 in mine as well and a restrictor is definetly a requirement. I'm using a high performance Amsoil bypass filter which has a...
Looking good. I went 2" all the way out the back with Dynomax turbo mufflers and love the sound. 2 1/4" pipes, a cross pipe, and even the heat...
I cut up a stovebolt intake and made a pc. to blend it to a Rochester 2GC as a machining exercise but never bothered welding it together or...
Leo's book covers the post 1962 inlines (194, 230, 250, 292) but not earlier 216 and 235's. The shop manual has pretty much everything for a...
I ran a 1952 216 dizzy in a 1955 235 and it worked ok but was much more responsive when I swapped it for one that came out of a 1956 261. The...

On my OT winter ride I put in a deck with a usb input. More tunes than I can ever get tired of and no fees.
Been there, done that. The proper term for what you seek is: "throttle ball joint"....
The drills at my work drag the guy in and wrap him around which ain't pretty when it happens. Invincible kids are that much more dangerous around...
The point of the square hole IMO is so that carriage bolts can be used where a wrench can't get to behind the balancer. If using the other mounts...
The process is known as raster to vector conversion to convert bitmaps, jpegs, etc. to machinable lines and arcs. Most higher end CAM systems have...
Here's a link to the template: http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/motormount_235.html I prefer them square as well so I drill the corners...
How about modifying a cool looking stove pot rest? 3M makes black welding blankets you could cut a square from too.
Here's a shot of mine for reference:
