Sometimes you just want to rebuild your engine for a Dailey driver. Something with some reasonable power and economy without reducing your retirement funds. The 239 engine in stock form in perfect running condition produces "LESS THAN" 80 horsepower. Adding heads intakes and exhaust to it will not increase the power to 100HP and cost a bundle. Buy building a 258 HI compression stock cam engine you can have a nice runnning engine with more than 100 hP and economy and longevity as well.
Gramps
Never thought I'd ever be running a stock cam, but the low and midrange torque in=s incredible, Running a 87F15 3spd with OD 3.73 rear with posy. The truck will climb any hill in Vermont in OD
