Was there a 270 GMC motor in 1946?

Thousands of them- - - - -mostly WW II surplus out of the 6X6 trucks. They were favorites with dirt track racers because of the full-pressure oiling and insert rod bearings.

As Jerry posted, the 270 engine was produced from 1941-1962.

Here is a little information about GMC inline 6 cylinder engines)

Anywhere from scrap iron value to maybe $500.00 for a complete engine with all the accessories that's been taken from a running-condition truck recently. If I can't hear one run, I always offer whatever the scrap iron recyclers are giving.
