What engine does this look like? I know I know...just look. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72freak · 08-28-2012, 08:14 PM

This is one we are going to get for some parts. I have NOT seen it yet. Im told it the "original V8" for this 1967 GMC. Im doubting that for sure. I have NEVER seen this configuration on the manifold. What is this engine? The manifold and fuel pump have me baffled.

305 V6.

JumboAMONGus · 08-28-2012, 08:27 PM

348 / lol idunno never seen a chevy like that

HotRod C/10 · 08-28-2012, 08:36 PM

marine application maybe?

sir_talk_alot · 08-28-2012, 08:38 PM

calling that a v6

**special-K** · 08-28-2012, 08:46 PM

At a glance my first thought was that it looks like a GMC V6,but I read V8. Well,judging by it's length from the firewall and distance back from the radiator it's got to be a V6. There's just not enough room for two more cylinders.

Yea...thats what I thought....I guess he was drunk when he put the (8) plugs in it he claimed he did.

That engine going to be way cool in an open engine rod of some sort!

72freak · 08-28-2012, 09:04 PM

Ok folks. I have looked at pictures on the internet of the 305 V6. I am fairly sure thats what it is.

GASoline71 · 08-28-2012, 09:04 PM

I would love to have one of those '67 GMC's with a 305 V6. Just cuz...

Gary

Lee H · 08-28-2012, 10:26 PM

Transplanted 348 or 409 if it has 8 plugs. I've seen a few. These truck have been around for a long time and few are as built.

Are you sure the 348/409 was used in light duty trucks? It might well have been, I've just never seen one outside of the Impala line (and Canadian Pontiacs).

JumboAMONGus · 08-29-2012, 03:15 AM

i was googlin and shows 62-65 had 348 , and i know there was a truck in a junk yard a year ago most had the v6 budget in wa , but i did see one with a v8 and it looked kinda the same as a v6 and i was like what is that , and it was a 348 ,,

Its in a 1 ton dually.

haysonj · 08-29-2012, 06:59 AM

348 and 409 were not made after 64 or 65 They also had the oil fill in the manifold I had a 409 which I had put in my 63 1/2 ton It was a monster and could not keep tires on the truck. I think they went to the 366 in the bigger trucks around 65 66

**special-K** · 08-29-2012, 07:18 AM

The 348s and 409s have a similar shape valve cover. But,come on,you guys have looked at enough engines to now each cylinder adds 5-6 inches to the length of an engine. A V6 is a shorter engine. Look at those shown and see how far back from the radiator support the front of the engine is. And,look at the master cyl/booster and how far past that the front of the engine is...not much. They never put big blocks in trucks before 1968. The 348/409s were the first big blocks. They didn't put V8s in GMCs in the '60s till a small amount later in '67. They were all I6 or V6.

Todd Hepler · 08-29-2012, 07:23 AM

Saw that one too Dave - are you going to get it this week?

haysonj · 08-29-2012, 07:32 AM

Found another picture of a 409 on my computer Notice no fuel pump on side of water pump and oil fill is in front of intake manifold

wilbilt · 08-29-2012, 07:55 AM

Looks like a V6 to me.

A few years ago, I saw photos of a GMC V12 from the 60's. It used a 12-cylinder block and 4 V6 heads. 2 intake manifolds. 2 distributors for the ignition. The heads and manifolds looked like they came right off a 305 V6.

leftybass209 · 08-29-2012, 10:24 AM

There is absolutely no way that motor can be confused with a 348/409. Valve cover shape is wrong, fuel pump location is wrong, manifold is wrong, the air cleaner looking supposedly stock is also wrong. The huge space between the radiator and water pump is a dead give away. Oh, and the water pump is grossly wrong for a w head engine as well. Not to mention the 348 was a large motor in its own right that would have filled that engine bay up.

That engine is a 305-E,GMC,V/6!Read the numbers on the pad just in front of the right head.
You could get a 327 in 66 GMC,1/2 ton trucks,but the larger trucks stayed with the V/6's up to at least 1971.
The 348 went out in 1962 I think.The 348/409 look very much alike.
The 409 was dis-continued in early 1965 in cars.
The 366 and 427(the 427 as a high performance car engine as well as the 366/427"Tall Deck" version for heavy trucks) became available in 1965 after the 409 was gone.
GMC made 4 different size V/6 engines and many variations of the same.Plus the 702,which used the 351 heads and pistons,intakes and many other V/6 parts,on one block and one crank and one cam.GMC also made several diesel engines too.
Here is my 1971,GMC,351-C,V/6-

This info isn't exact,but close.
Mike.
