I have a 41 GMC it is supposed to be stock but the valve cover says Chevrolet! How do I find out what engine I have? can I do it with I.D. numbers? Where do I cross reference the numbers I have? Thanks for any help anyone might have.

First off, a Chevrolet valve cover WILL NOT fit a GMC, so the engine's been swapped for the Chev motor, which is very common. Look for the casting numbers, should be on the passenger side of the motor around the fuel pump, that number should be easily found on this site or go over to inliners.org and search their engine numbers.

There'll also be a seria; number stamped on a pad right behind the distributor, that will help narrow down the original application, along wiht the casting date that is located above the starter.
