Anyone mind helping me ID this GMC engine. Was in a 1950 GMC 1/2 ton.
Block # GMC 5 6107326
Head casting A245 6107412

the 245 might be 248?

I think GMC enfines have the displacement cast into the RH side behind the distributor if I recall correctly. The 245 or 248 on the head would not indicate displacement. Also try the OldGMC website.

Yes, look for the stamped serial number on the boss on the front driver's side of the block. It will start with 3 numbers, those are the displacement. If there are only three numbers, it was a replacement block and you were supposed to stamp the rest yourself to match up with the block you replaced, so you wouldn't have to change the title.

From this site:

You have a 228, probably original to the truck.

I looked it up and the block is a 39-52' 228. All the heads begin with 219xxx excpet for 2 which are both for the 228.
