Where are they

They're still around , although getting more rare by the day. The result of being one year of production ( in cars, anyway ), especially for the 256. Saw a '54 Merc sled advertised on one site that still had the 256. Seems like most 239's have been swapped out for small blocks these days, both in cars and trucks. I've seen a lot of them setting around that were done that way a LONG time ago ( car been setting for a long time, all delapidated, with small block and cast iron Cruiso ). The 239 has always been kind of unpopular because of lack of power. I had one myself for a while, and I must admit it was pretty unimpressive.

Methinks he's asking where the 239 and 256 are in the Forum listing.
I remember our Moderator saying something like 'they werent that popular and the list got kinda long'

Unloved..........

But if Mr MBlues is looking for a 239 I have one that turns and needs a home. Frieght $ and its yours!
