Hello,

How can I identify what engine is in my 1948 GMC 9434?

This is the type plate and it states engine 'X256774'. Now, is that the number that the original engine would have been stamped with or is it the type of engine?



I would need to take the starter out to see the stamping on the right side, correct?
