It could be a GMC motor, a 1940's contemporary of the Chev 216..both made at the same period. Does it have full pressure big end lubrication, instead of the dipper setup ? If so, it may well be a GMC motor .

Just looked up the 1940 GMH manual.....the GMC motors were the 1600H and 9600H one of these was 248 ci by the look of it
