Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny Hello, everyone. Recently, I aquired a 1954 Ford V-8 239, OHC, EBV, with standard 3 speed tranny. Have question about the Motor Mounts. This engine supposedly came out of a Ford F100 truck. The engine has the large front motor mount still intact. Also has the transmission support as well. Are these the only mounts for this engine? Don't see any bosses where side block mounts would go on either side. Not being that familiar with the early trucks, could someone more knowledgeable than myself clear this up for me. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny Yes, I believe they are. Some special features on 239 that are different than other Y block engines. If you get replacement parts never give them your original as a core. You can find good information here or the Y blocks forever site. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/Default.aspx

There’s some other odd thing about 239’s I’m not really clear about. Something about a late model that shared certain items with the later 272-292-312. Cam bearings, distributor gears, I not sure. And not sure if it applied to trucks. All worth looking into and figuring out. |
Re: Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny I thought 239s are EBU or is that only the 239s that are in cars?

Re: Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny According to Mummert's chart, a 55 239 in a pick up truck would be marked EBV, and would have smaller cam beatings and a 14 tooth distributor gear. it would also be produced at the Cleveland plant. The early 239 was produced at the Dearborn plant and has a larger diameter camshaft and has a 13 tooth distributor gear. to tell the difference, the 55 block would have a circle with a C stamped inside it. This designation would signify made at the Cleveland plant.

Re: Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny The EBV block s/b a 55 block so you may have a 55 engine. There should be some bosses on the side of the block for sedan engine mounts. Sedans used side mounts plus the rear mount. In addition, sedans in 54 and 55 used what was called a steady rest at the front that looks like an engine mount. This was to "steady" the engine. Trucks used a front mount and side mounts that are part of the bellhousing.

Re: Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny Here is a brief tutorial on the FYB. There is a lot more information/details but this should give a quick idea -
http://yblockguy.com/about_the_y-block_ford.htm The truck used a bell housing with two ears mounted opposite that would serve as the the rear engine/trans mount. The engine was mounted on a tripod arrangement. |

Re: Questions about 1954 F100 OHC V-8, 239, w/ three sp tranny there is a lot of confusion with the 239.all 54 car were EBU where the confusion comes from is the early trucks used the same engine.then in the middle of the year they went to the EBV block.its the same block all 55 239s used.it still had all the odd 54 parts but the block was the same as 55 small cam etc.
