We got it going!!!!!!
We finally got to the moment of truth this weekend. Fired up the 239 for the first time and it runs like a top. We ran it at idle for about ten minutes. Then ran it for a couple of hours static at different RPM's. Then we drove it around the patch a few times. Oil pressure 45 and running around 187 deg. I think grampa's going to be surprised when he gets home this week. There are a few bugs[another post] but I'm happy with the results. I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for all the advice and info. It has made this rebuild easier. I hope post some pics once I get time and figure out how to do it. It has been great family project.
