I have a 235 in my 1951 chev aluminum step Van. I took this engine which was my very first complete rebuild, out of one of my Chev Flat Decks and put it into the van. The engine is a late '53 and so it has the full 48 psi oil pressure -- no dippers on the rods and only 14 psi. My main bearing caps are all shimmed but not the rod caps.

So . . . I made a hole for the button in the engine surround, and used the gas pedal arm from an old Austin, as my lever to push the starter button. works like a charm. :)

The lever actually pulls to the side and will go behind the button as a theft deterrent.
