I have a GMC '48 453 with a 270 engine. Are all the exhaust manifolds the same size from the 228 to the 302 size?

An oe part number 6107434 fits 228-302. It was superseded by 2194274. I think a later 302 has a larger exhaust flange but I think they would all bolt to the head.

the exhaust manifold casting no# on ours is 2180407P any ideas on whether I could use a manifold off a 248?

Our manifold had a 3 bolt exhaust flat flange with preheater counterbalance

I think they all had a 3 hole flange and a heat riser. Casting numbers are not necessarily part numbers and different parts books use different part numbers due to revisions. Gasket sets were sold to fit 228-302 but some gaskets were not used. I think the exhaust gasket was the same, but the intake was larger on a 302. I still think a 302 manifold would fit your 270.
