In 65 they went to a longer tranny and no rear pump. I would love to make one of these up to drive to CC? or BB? Who cares if it's not 100% original driveline. At least you would be showing up with something you drove there. My opinion on this changed after spendng time with Preston Isac and his diesel LAAT. When he pulled out of Portsmouth heading for the ferry to France in 94 and actually accelerated down the street towing a Bofors, Brian and I stood there in awe.

Hi Barry,
What do you think about a
GMC 270 engine in a CMP?
I hear you guys in North America talking about all sorts of engines which are really rare in Europe, but I realise the 270 cu.in. engine might be more readily available here because of the abundance of GMC CCKW trucks.
