Engine is from a low miles one owner 1957 GMC 3/4 ton pickup I found on its original farm near Nashville TN. He said he pulled the whole engine and trans because nothing else would bolt up to the great running 347 and he had access to a Buick V8 already coupled to a working trans, so it was far and away easier to slide that whole unit down in there and sell the 347 and Hydramatic. At the time I needed a running known-to-be-good 347 so I drove 3 hrs North and picked it up - later I found another excellent 42K original mileage running 347 in another 3/4 ton truck in South GA and bought it - it was already cosmetically restored and repainted and pretty so I used it instead of the first 347 you are getting. As for the belly pan, the only one I have is bent up off the 336 and not entirely certain what I exactly did with that either....I also have a complete 56 GMC 316 V8 that ran great but seems like she was almost frozen from sitting last time we turned it over.
