The version of the 235 was determined by the transmission ordered. The 3-speed stickshift cars got the 235 with splash and pressure lubrication using babbitt bearings and scoops at the bottom of each connecting rod to create oil pressure. This engine also had solid valve lifters. The Powerglide automatic cars got a 235 with insert rod bearings and full pressure lubrication.

The babbitted 235’s made 106 horsepower and the insert rod 235’s made 115 horsepower.
