They are not. The 10239 is a smaller diameter than the 10235. The 10235 has three bolt patterns for the torque converter, including the larger diameter pattern with holes for the little 5/16" bolts. The 10239 is smaller diameter and does not have that larger diameter bolt pattern specifically because no 904 ever used that pattern.
Are you going to proceed with that non-roller block or do you still want to wait for a roller instead? What machine shop do you plan to use for your current block? I am kind of local to you. Feel free to send a PM if you need help with transportation to a local shop.
I'm out at 25/romeo plank and it's a haul for you.. i will get it done
I am either going to use Dave Harmon in waterford (supposed to do amazing work) or St. Clair machining out near me.. st clair is closer.. Terry Brighton who does a lot of small blocks uses them but their reviews online are sketchy If it cleans up at .030 i'm going with the 426 kit. I'm not going for max power, i figure more cubes will make plenty without stressing stuff.
Interesting. More pieces to the puzzle
Also... i would get a paint marker and mark everything after final torque.. 1 missed bolt is a bad dayI missed that oil galley plug. I know about it but could not access it while mounted to the engine stand. Got in a hurry and forgot to put it in. Had sneak it in from the top with the intake off. Not easy, but can be done.BTW.. BM73 when you start assembly i would make a new thread and post pics as you go.. people love to point out anything you miss which might save you a lot of headache.. like the oil plug inside the valley by the dist gear
The one that gets pressed in under the main cap is a hidden one that is easier to miss because you don't really see it. That one causes near complete loss of oil pressure. The screw-in one near the distributor I missed caused lower oil pressure everywhere, but most notably in the left side valvetrain. Luckily it was hydraulic roller lifters and Chevy style roller rocker arms on Magnum style Edelbrock heads. No damage, just bruised ego.
Yes that is the plan for sure. i want one thread completley dedicated to the build and to ask questions i may not know the answers to. As far as that oil plug. here are all the pictures i currently have in no particular order. any chance you can show which one or where around about it may be? i had the machine shop do all the plugs and cam barrings. so im hoping its already plugged. but never hurts to triple checkBTW..

and what is it a plastic plug a metal screw in plug? is it inside the engine or on tip where the dist. goes. thats the block after the machine shop so aside from color nothings changed since this picture.
it's inside the intake valley right where i showed.. above where the dist gear goes.. it's a metal plug just like on the front/rear of the block
solid advice i will absolutely check that out. both sides im assuming right? this is the hole at will feed the head shafts? my pushrods were solid so i assume they oil through the rocker shafts. and i have the old cam ill slide it in and check it out.
that's supposed to be a really good book though.
as intimidating as the engine is. the trans may as well be Chinese to me. hahahah. i dont understand **** about them. i dont know how they work i just know theyre there hahahah.I haven't myself.. but i would 100% read it if i were you.. i just haven't cause i don't have it and i have had a lot of old mopars so i learned a lot by mistakes
Also get the transmission book for when you do yours.... trans is actually very satisfying to do yourself
That is a good book for reading and seeing interesting stuff on big inch exotics, but if you are on a budget you just need a book dealing with torque specifications and regular assembly procedures.
