Is the Chevy 235 engine the same as the 261?

1. The rear of every Chevy ‘6’ block (216, 235, or 261) is the same from 1937 through 1962, and the flywheel/crank-flange pattern is the same from ’41-’62! We obviously have wonderful interchangeability. Therefore, using pure Chevy parts, any engine from ’37-’62 can be installed into any chassis (car, truck, etc.) from ’37-’62!
