Kevin,
Post the serial num of your C135 engine. Don't have the books in front of me but seems like around 100500(?) there is a changeover from early to late design. I believe that to be at the 404/504 introduction, but would be good to know your numbers to see how it fits my assumptions.

If my guess is right, you have the early C135 which will have nothing in common with the C153. Early C135s will have a 9 vs a 14bolt head as in the late C135 and the C153s; early C135s have a different crankshaft and rods from the later C135s (journals larger than the C113/123s, but smaller that the late C135/C153s); and as already stated, the C135 has wet sleeves (3-1/4" bore) while the C153 has non-replaceable sleeves and 3-3/8" bore.

If you decide to rebuild the C135 contact me off line as I still have a NOS firecrator C135 S&P set that I'm not using. Another option may be to buy a stripped block from a 504 which (I believe) should fit your 340 and use your internals from the other 153.
Good luck,
Stan(VA).

PS- and now that our 3 christmas dinners and traveling are wrapped up, I will add a belated Merry Christmas to all on this site as well!
