i have a 46 gmc pickup with a inline 6 cyl engine .
the block is unusable so i am in search of a rebuildable or running engine.
i know that several engines will fit, so i am open to ideas to get this rig rolling.

thx JT

I have a 46 Chevy 2 ton parts truck in SE Wisconsin with a good engine for you.

I would likely go with the newest non-computer engine that would fit without too much mods. I know that a small block Chevy will fit in nicely and the hardest thing is moving the steering box. We replaced the rear end/axles with one from a 70's model Buick station wagon. It was geared low enough to pull pretty good and high enough for highway speeds.

I believe there were 3 sizes of GMC six cylinders, with the 301 being the largest. I also know a Chevy 235 will bolt up, but is shorter in length. Why not go with a much newer engine if you plan to make it a daily driver? like a 70s Chevy six.

i thank you all for the input
the possable doner truck is a 68gmc with a long stroke 302 out of a z28 .a real solid truck but just as solidly ugly
as most of the 46 truck is there and straight i may just put a 235 in and concentrate on body work for now
