Bob,
The engine used a unique oil pan compared to the other GMC270’s I’ve seen. The one on this engine matches the drawings in the Chevy Master Assemblies book. The rear engine mounts use the same vibration isolator mounts that the CCKW used. The actual mounts themselves a very heavy duty and a different design than what’s on my C15A. The transmission is also a much larger unit. It’s very similar to the CCKW with some differences. It’s similar in size to the Muncie SM240.

David.
I looked hoping I would see the remains of a decal. But nothing. It looks to have simply been painted the light grey then over sprayed with KG#3. It still had some oil in it along with a filter. Lastly a picture of just how much crud had accumulated inside the Otter. This was all under the drivers seat and inside the seat base bolted to the floor.

I don’t know why the designers thought mounting the oil filter sideways was a good idea. I much prefer the later style mounted on the engine vertically.
Yes I do have a spare engine. It’s a RCEME rebuilt/crated engine with the Cnd double pulleys. Same setup as used in the Otter. Came from a fellow in New Brunswick. The vehicle is getting lighter for sure. The shop vac is getting heavier though. Did a little bit of work tonight pulling some more parts. The front floor panels are now all removed. I’ve also removed the brake/clutch pedal assembly, the handbrake lever assembly and the transfer case lever. All will be their own restoration projects.

Four shims were found under the brake/clutch assembly. The entire assembly is interesting as it comes off with the removal of 8 bolts. Four hold the master cylinder mounting bracket to the frame and 4 hold the pedal linkage to the frame.

Well it was a beautiful 25 degrees outside today. So taking advantage of this lock weather I decided to get a bunch of my otter parts all painted up.

Jordan, I have some NOS 270 engine parts if you have not already completed a rebuild. Give me a shout for more details.
