GMC trucks after '53 or so, some military trucks, some comm'l special trucks, saw one in a milk truck. Have been put in smaller trucks. Also Korean War 10 wheelers with a hydromatic trans.
Some military or big truck ones have a 14" clutch, big bellhousing that is awkward to use, so, if you come across a smaller one(270 for example) get the flywheel and bellhousing for a 12" clutch. A GM HEI distributor for a 230-250-292 GM(Chevy) and even fire V6 will work in 270-302 engines, . I guess you know the SN starts with the displacement, I.e. 302xxxx, stamped # on casting behind starter.
