I would prefer a used running motor. I'd also considering a rebuild if someone could recommend a good rebuilder, experienced with old iron.
I'm in western Colorado
Thanks | | |

You are looking for a 248; that is what your truck came with stock. A 228 will work, but if you're lucky you might find a 302! Happy Hunting!  Any '39-'62 GMC engine will bolt up (228,236,248,256,270 and 302)

It runs but I used the front motor mount, oil pan and valve cover for my 270. I replaced the oil pan with the beat up 270 one. It wasn't smoking and started right up. I live in Albuquerque. Your welcome to it....come and get it, I really don't want to try shipping.
