There's lots of time left. The only advantage that you guys have, is that they listed it as a 302, and if your looking for a 270 you would miss it maybe  Good luck!! | | |

Tried again and now it's where I'm at! Must be out of big truck with the filter on it like that. How do you folks know it's a 270? Wish I could see if it has double or triple pulleys on it. Should say size on stamping if I e'mailed seller, I guess.

Is that GL "I hate eBay" Perry bidding on that motor?
Hmmmmmmmm. Must be a love/hate relationship!
Hope one of "our" people get that motor. I have been drooling over and admiring all the 302s on Inliners site and they are pretty impressive.
Good luck GL. You'll hate eBay even more before this ones over! LOL | | |

As you maybe noticed, the water pump is missing off the front. The valve cover has the hole just in front of the GMC logo for the PCV hookup and the oil filler just behind the filter has the oil bath filter for the PCV system. From the size of the filter housing I think your right about it coming out of a larger truck. The larger capacity filter was needed for such things as compressors and the larger hydromatics as the oil was run through these different components. Good candidate for a full flow conversion anyways

The guy added that he found out it is a 270 and he also mentions it did not come out of a truck but is mounted on a frame and it was originally for some industrial use.

Guess I better go back to grade school and learn all that readin' stuff over again. I did't see the part in his description where "he also mentions it did not come out of a truck". That stand sure don't look like what it was monted in for the industrial use. Maybe it came out of an "industrial" truck?................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Typical application would be GMC 2 1/2 ton military truck" I guess it could be an industrial military truck. I thought he meant, it is normally found in a truck, but this one was used in an industrial application.

The water pump and gen are laying in picture and he said all would go with, wasn't sure on pulleys, belts or fan, was gonna check. It's his brother's engine. I can't get on to check for sale process as ebay has shut-down for maintainance on early Fri mornings, Sheesh! That's when I'm on here, early AM!

Besides, ebay was working at 5:45 this morning(FRIDAY) must be they didn't have too much maintainance to do. It will be there! You still are high bidder..... Mr. Ebay hater! 61.00 I hope you get it. Tony and I bought a 261 on ebay. Had a great time picking it up. You meet the nicest people. Good Luck! | | |

I really am in need of one, mine is in the shop and looks like the block will have to be stitched, ouch. If the call comes from the shop in the near future I may have to go up against ya GL. No hard feelings 
Whats down in the well comes up in the bucket, so watch who's KoolAid you drink.

Took all day, I'm tired! 225 miles up and 255 back a slower road as my truck was getting warm on the highway. Slow way was prettier too! I hate Interstates! His neighbor has an MM M-5 tractor, froze up but all there, Woopie! Might have to look into that. It's just a woman and been setting for long time in yard. Has a loader too, but looks homemade and wouldn't stay on it, for me anyway. NOW, to make offer and figure how to get IT home!!! :rolleyes:
