Tim, the 235 and GMC are longer than a 216 in waterpump area. You will have
radiator clearance problem, have to move it ahead or can get short shaft pump
for the 235. No short pump for GMC that I am aware of. The mounts are about the
same. YOu can use either bellhousing between engines and tranny's will all
exchange. The GMC has always been a full pressure oiler, even the older ones.
They are the better, stronger engine. It is really a Buick design adapted long
ago.
Value is whatever you believe in old parts purchases. $100 wasn't bad, but
some risky if you didn't hear it run. At least it turns over, you said. The
engine size is usually stamped on flat spot behind distributor. Clean it off
for stamping. The first three numbers are the engine size.

Hi my name is Tim and I am new to the group. Been lurking, alot of
great information. Been working on a 51 five window that was a 3/4
ton. I put the cab on a 49 1/2 ton frame. Was running a 216 but have
rebuilt a 62 235 bored .040 over ground the crank .010 and getting the
head done. Found a local country neighbor who works out of a shop at
home. Great machinist and very reasonable. Keeping the orginal look.
Have done all the body work, replaced all the rusted panels
sandblasted the frame and painted it. Going with a 12 generator in
place of the 6v. Orginal beanch seat recovered. My question is this I
recently was able to purshase a 3/4 ton frame with the axles and a
decent cab. It has a complete GMC motor serial #6107323 or 8. This is
a 53 248 the best I can figure out.Is this a full pressure oil motor?
Not real familiar with GMC motors. It has a 4 speed behind it. The
motor turns over. I was thinking of possibly using this motor in place
of the 235. Would my 3 speed bolt up to this bell housing or would I
need to swap out the bell housing, fly wheel and preasure plate. I
purshased this parts truck for $100. Any ideal the value of this
complete motor to inclued the air cleaner. Thanks
