Staghound Update

[Grant Bowker]

There's a GMC 270 engine listed on ebay at the moment that seems to have a serial beginning ACR or AOR with a rebuild tag headed RCEME. Is this of any use to you? http://www.ebay.com/itm/270-GMC-LONG...E:B:SS:CA:1120
All standard disclaimers about no knowledge of the seller apply but it is possible they are an arm of Sam Winer Motors (surplus dealers).

Thanks Grant,
That motor is correct for a Staghound, correct crankcase and pulley also.
I now have a couple of usable engines to rebuild but thanks for the heads up.

There is a story in a recent VMVC newsletter by dinger Belfield . He was on a army reserve exercise in the early 1960's in Gippsland with the Staghounds , he wrote , "they were worn out and prone to breakdowns" his recovery truck was needed often
