Thanks Numberdummy, I actually already found what I needed but you can never get enough info on these things....lol. I should have been more specific, but what I needed was torque specs and such for rebuilding the motor, but I already found them. Thanks guys...everyone at this site is very helpful and quick to respond. I appreciate all of you for the help.

1954 b239
B4A-6250-A .. Camshaft ~ 1954 239.
C4TZ-6250-A (replaced BMA-6250-C, B5A-6250-C) .. Camshaft-Marked CAB ~ 1954/55 239/256 / 1957/64 292.
There are two types of cam bearings, depends on which camshaft it has. If it's the C4TZ cam, the bearings have the same application.

Maybe of the two types of cam bearings, the one set may have a bigger OD?
I don't have anything Y block related, but found this thread rather interesting, since 1953's OHV 239 is unique to its year. Kinda like how the first Windsor series evolved each year from 1962 and on. Can't have engineers get bored? lol.
EDIT: I meant 1954.

The block will not take the later numbered cam bearings, or cam. The block has a larger cam bore than the newer ones. A newer cam could fit, IF the cam bearings used a sleeve, or bushing, or something to make up the difference. This I found out just recently when rebuilding the 239 in the '54 I was working on. The 55 and later cam WILL NOT work in the '54 block, and any reference that says it will is inaccurate.

That's fine, but the 48-55 parts book I have says the cam bearings, cam, and block are different in number, and the dimensssions are also listed different. Of course, the info available in print is only as good as the person behind the printing process. I found through actual labor, and physical hands on experience, that the '54 cam is a 2.05 diameter, and the 55 up 1. something. They are not the same, and the book lists different part numbers, and the dimensions. Personally, I could really care less, except that if someone wants to rebuild an original '54 239, a cam, and other parts from a 55 up WILL NOT fit, plain and simple. Just figured I save someone the hassle that I already went through, because the Ford book is WRONG. 55 up cam absolutely, in no way, shape, or form, will work in an original '54 block.

Ford made many changes/revisions (including changing some of basic part numbers) when the parts catalog was revised when the 1956 models came out.
There were EIGHT revisions of this catalog after 1956.
I'm using the last (1964) printed version of the 1948/56 truck catalog...which you can buy on a CD from hipoparts.com for about 20 bucks, or buy reprints of the original 1964 version from DC for 200 bucks.
And, since Ford replaces/updates 10's of 1000's of part numbers EVERY YEAR, unless you have O-S-I (Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange) catalogs to verify part numbers, looking them up for yourself or passing the numbers along...is a mistake, because...
Excepting most body parts...some of the chassis part numbers were replaced decades ago., so you're looking for numbers that haven't existed since LBJ was prez.

It's kinda neat to have these old parts catalogs, but the problems are, Ford made many changes/revisions (including changing some of basic part numbers) when the parts catalog was revised when the 1956 models came out.
