Matt ;
Invert both manifolds and look at the diameter of the holes where
they meet the cylinder head ~ they're smaller on the 216 intake
manifold and the _will_ leak as the engine goes through it's normal
thermal cycles .
The carby mounting flange is different too but you can easily get the
lower portion of the carby and re-use your old one .
Exhaust manifolds are indeed the same and only the angle of the head
pipe connection differes over the hears .
Get and use , a correct 235 intake manifold or this will come back to
haunt you in weird runnng problems a erratic idle .
