| | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 8 | I am trying to purchase the correct stock intake/exhaust manifold for a replacement 240 cu in engine which will be installed in a 1955 1st series GMC 1/2 ton truck. The replacement engine has a cracked exhaust manifold with a 2 1/2 inch three hole exhaust flange. The intake manifold carburator studs are 3 5/8" center to center this engine came out of a 2 ton GMC. Do I stick with these sizes or go to 2" exhaust and 3" center to center carburator studs? I would like to keep the truck stock, if possible. Any advise would be much appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | The motor should be a 248, not a 240, though I suppose that is a typo. I'm not sure what the correct exhaust manifold would be. Hopefully someone with a parts book will look it up for you.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 8 | Yes it was a typo, the engine is a 248 cu. in.

You can remove the intake manifold and use the one from your original engine as long as the bolts match up.
