1940-1941 256 ci GMC engine?
I do not know about distributor compatibility, but it looks like the 256 was similar to the 270. Maybe someone knows about the 270 distributor compatibility with 216/235? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | Its a beast I mean orphan all to its own.
Search WW2 military resto sites. It was only used in military applications for a very short time.
No joy for cross motor parts swapping to a 248/270/302
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

He's using 270 rings, and all the bearings are the same as the other GMC inline engines. He's concerned with whether a cast iron or a steel gear will be required, assuming the 235 distributor has the right dimensions to plug into the GMC block. I think (not sure) a 235 fuel pump should bolt on and work OK, but that's easy to figure out.
