I have a stock 239 in my 54 ford. I checked the part number on the manifold. Its a ECZ 9425 A. I didn't think that intake would work on a 239. I was looking to pull the 239 out and putting a 292 in. Does this mean I can use that intake on my 292?

Is it a 4 barrel manifold.  It would bolt on, but would be very close to not sealing around the ports.  If it is truly an ECZ-A, it will bolt right on your 292.  Are you sure it is not an ECG-A?

I just went outside and double check the numbers its ECZ 9425 a. And yes its a 4 barrel. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

You sure it's a 239?

Very sure its a 239. I've replaced the fuel and water pump on it. I'm pretty sure those two parts are one year parts. They were a pain in the ass to find.

Even if your block is a 239 that don`t mean the heads are. Pete

What are the numbers on the heads?
By HotrodRebel - 13 Years Ago
I never thought about that. I'll have to take a look tomorrow after work.

I believe the ECZ A would seal to a 239 head.  The reason being I just tore down a C2AE block, with 239 heads, and a late model 2 bbl  intake.  The late model 2 bbl has even larger ports than the A.  The seal on the back side needs to be measured with a caliper.  VERY thin.  But the engine looks like it saw full good service in some heavier truck application.  I'll get some pictures for a different thread.

a friend had a 55 sunliner with a 292.everything was correct except one head had small plugs.everything else was 55.it ran fine for years.

I'm at work now. But I'm gonna go out on my lunch break and get the numbers off the heads. I'd stuff myself if they were 312. But I don't think I'm that lucky.

I wasn't able to spot the head numbers. But I did notice my heads and block were both painted red. My oil pan valley cover and the front of the motor are painted yellow. I'm starting to think I have a frankenstein under the hood.

I was only able to get the number off the block itself. Its EBU 6015 F. Still haven't been able to get it off the heads. Gonna try when I get home.

The only number I could find on the heads was B 26.

Some head casting marks are under the front corners of the heads, near the coolant crossovers. Other casting numbers may be covered by the exhaust manifold gaskets.

The heads I posted about in the street forum didnt have any meaningful letters/numbers, except on the deck side.  They wouldnt be able to be seen unless the heads were removed.
