i was wondering what other engines have the same engine mount paterns, and bell housing patterns as a 248/288/316? i recently purchesed a 1955 GMC 2nd series 3/4 ton truck. it was an original v-8 but now has a correct year 248 inliner. i am interested in putting a newer olds/pont (57- 65) in it.

thanks

I'm in the middle of doing the same thing to my 56 GMC 2 ton. From the looks of it a 400/455 should mate up, if you use the original bellhousing. You may need to grind a little on the front mount, due to balancer clearance.
