    Was wondering if anyone knows if I could swap out my 1940 Pontiac inline 6 223 ci engine motor for a 1941 Pontiac inline 6 239ci? Is there anything different about these 2 motors besides the bore? Are the mounts the same? Anything different at all? Thanks for any info.

    I have the 239 in my '40 Pontiac. I believe it is the same, at least as for the mounts.
