There are letters on the block, heads, intake and timing chain cover.
What are those. My 239 has EBV.
Here is a link with some information. TECHNICAL
and Here for the heads: Y
It looks like EBY looks to be 256 but I got a little confused reading those.

Hey let me look at my parts catalog.....if someone else doesn't have a good answer yet.
