Does anyone know what year GMC engines changed from the 4 bolt flywheel to the 6 bolt flywheel??? It may not be a year change but a change found in different truck models??? Any help would be great!

Just a guess here, but I think the smaller engines, 228, 248 and 270 had four bolt flywheels. I think the 302 had the six bolt flywheel. :rolleyes:

302s all had 6-bolt cranks. Not sure about 270s but I've never seen one with 4 bolts... But by late 1954, all GMCs were 6-bolt. By that time 228s were history, so anything 55 -1st series and later will have the 6 bolt crank.
