Re: GMC VS Chevy Motor
he was plainly talkin smack with the pathetic brand loyalty crap.
That, or has NFC what torque is. GM built all kinds of good truck motors. It's just too bad they left it to us to place them into the truck. Grab one of these big blocks... you'll never want a tonka toy 350 motor again. |

Re: GMC VS Chevy Motor
At one time or another, just about every make of G.M. V-8 has been in a G.M. truck, except for Cadillac. As mentioned here, G.M.C. used Pontiac V-8's in light and medium truck from '55 to '59. Some G.M.C. heavy duty 550 and 600 series trucks used the Oldsmobile 370 during those years too. Chevy used the 322 Buick 'Nailhead' in their first heavy duty tandem axles trucks in '56 and '57, before the 348 'W' Big Block came out. Both Chevy and G.M.C. used the Olds 350 diesel from '78 to '81.

Re: GMC VS Chevy Motor
IMO, GMC had better options for a true truck engine than Chevy offered.
I believe I said this on here before, but a guy who was a big wheel at the largest local GM dealer in the area back in the 60's and 70's told me a few years ago that you could HAVE gotten a V-6 in a pickup until 74 or some time there after if you had the right connections at a dealer, he never said what V-6, but I assume it was the 305E(Or the last version of that CID)............Whether it was true or not I don't know. He said they were also playing around with Diesels in our body style trucks in the last years of production, never did say exactly who or what got them, Test beds for small fleet like railroads and others maybe? He liked to chuckle at how bad the Toroflow V-6's were, junk steel in the '73's and up, and who could forget the Chevy Luv Old Howard lived across the road from one of our farms and loved to walk over and talk trucks...........He was really fired up about the Cummins transplant, sadly he didn't live long enough to go for a ride.
