Have you figured out what the motor is? If it is still a GMC the first three numbers in the engine serial number indicate the size. Its not unusual for the numbers to be preceded by a letter 'A'. I'd expect it to be a 228 if its original, but 248, 270 and 302 are all legitimate values.

Do you plan to run the original motor?
