Re: 1969 5500 gmc
engine is a V/6 know that for sure was wanting to see what it was thru the serial # as now the engine is sealed up so as not to have it get stuck and can't see the block for the view. thanks

Re: 1969 5500 gmc
VIN just tells you it's a gas V-6, but not which one. A E-5500 could have a 305 or a 351. Only way to tell for sure is look on the block in front of the right head as in MusicMan70's picture. Engine parts are getting tough to find, but these guys can help:
