Re: 292 with 239 heads
Back in the '70's, I used to frequent Dan's Used auto parts in Mascoutah. Lotta old stuff there. I ran across and old milk delivery truck that was loaded in the back with nothing but old intake manifolds and saw an intake with an EBU carb on it that looked like my '55 manifold, except that it seemed smaller to me. I kept rummaging and found a '56 intake that had a Holley 2110 on it and compared it with the other intake. That is when I drew the conclusion that the first manifold I encountered must have come off of a '54 Ford car with a 239. But I was not aware that the '54 truck engine had a manifold more on the order of the standard 2bbl '55 manifold (and thus the truck engine would have had the 272 heads also I assume.

The TRUCK 239 (late 54- 1955 CF) was different in design(s) from the PASS CAR 239 DIF. TRUCK did not get the 272 until 1956, but used 256/272 heads in 1955. All of this will be explained in FORD SERVICE LETTERS but getting hold of them all at this date would be a challenge. When you discuss the FYB, you have to consider all installs incl.- FORD - MERC - TRUCK (LD and HD).

A PARTS MANUAL only shows current service parts (date of publication). It does not either give needed service info, other than what the user can differentiate. The are manuals that will allow one to track down deleted SERVICE PARTS. The actual history of the FYB is not concise even among experts as all will give differing description(s) in their TECH ARTICLES. Am I explaining this correctly? I am interested in the developmental history of the FYB SERIES. Most has been forgotten. I want to know exactly why FORD issued two versions of the early FYB. But without a source of the early SERVICE LETTERS, it will be near impossible. I went through this same thing some years back with the MEL. Same fairy tales. I came across the period LM SERVICE LETTERS and pieced it together.

Re: 292 with 239 heads
The Cleveland engine plant started out casting the Lincoln and truck Y-blocks in 1951. With most design and initial production of the small Y-blocks starting at Dearborn, it would make sense that updates were done there. The Cleveland plant likely took a bit of time to tool up for the new smaller engine series. By the time they got started casting, a number of improvements were already incorporated into the design.

I appreciate your offer and if you ever have the time, please research 1954 to 1955 FYB service/production letters. Now while I am at it, there was a similar thread here (I think) discussing the intro of the FYB. It's release was scheduled for 1953 but held back because of material shortages (KOREA). Another poster (I cannot remember his name or the thread) posted the FYB designing actually began in 1948. He is correct. This is when the order came down for new engines and the needed plants and tooling. I apologize for dismissing his contribution. BTW- I just had a colonoscopy and came out with a clean slate. My wife always refers to me as a$$-hole and I just wanted to be perfect for her ...

I forgot to address this one earlier concerning cross-drilled and grooved cam journals - Quote:
John Mummert - http://nebraskalandtbirds.org/sitebu...mblyerrors.pdf I also came across this reference that the cross-drilled cam journal was used again but that is false.

Re: 292 with 239 heads
someone will probably be along to help you will need to post your OS as each have different methods for attaching and resizing hopefully you figure it out as it will answer some questions hopefully.

Re: 292 with 239 heads
It has been my experience that pic's will not post if you have selected the quick reply box at the bottom of the list of threads. Right above it, you will see a little blue rectangle labelled "POST REPLY". Pick that and use it for the post you want to embed photos in. The can link photos directly from the hard drive on your computer to the post. After uploading is complete, close the upload window, then "insert" the pic in the dropdown list you want on the post.

Re: 292 with 239 heads
If you click on "GO Advanced" you can load pictures. Then scroll down to Manage attachments and click on it. Same as the paper clip thing

Re: 292 with 239 heads
Turns out my cutting out problem had been a tired/weak fuel pump all along. All is well now. I went to Mummert's shop here in San Diego with many Y-block questions, one being the 239 heads on a 292 block. Turns out the 1961 292 is the only 292 block that 239 heads will work on.
