I agree with all above, but as the owner of a 239 in my 54, I have no problem with it. We don’t set any land speed records, but it is reliable with no trouble starting in 0 degree weather. Supposed to have a top speed of 89 mph, but never been over 70 with it in the 42 years I’ve had it.
I had four 54 239s in my garage at one time so had plenty of spare parts. Hang on to it as the Custom Line sedans of 54 and 53 ran the same Y Block. I join a Custom Line club for a few years as it helped with locating parts.

There were two separate 239 CI engines in 1954, one EBU (DIF) which was used in PASS CAR and has the oddball design and parts and EBV (CF) which is the same basic design as the following 256-272-292 LT engines
