Went to verify my engine and came up with these numbers.

B22815084
248


My research leads me to believe that this engine was built in 1948??? Because of the B

Is this in fact a 248 motor?

I looked for a plate on the left side like the shop manual said the 46 should have but found nothing. I supposed it could be crusted over.
I want to order parts but need to know what I'm getting. Thanks for any help.

The first three numbers indicate it's a 228. Check out this site to decode the number. Old GMC Trucks

Thanks I actually found that but missed the enginge part the first time. Both list I have looked at seem to not have the "B" prefix listed. Any help there?

The 'B' indicates what size the bearings are. A chart with the codes is on Kook's site also.
