I just came across this older thread so I thought I would post some photos that I have. They're not great photos but I think at the time it was the best I could do.

Whatever engines you measured Alex your conclusion is incorrect. The 270 engine block is definitely longer than the 216 by around an inch and a half. The bell housings are dimensionally similar between Chev and GMC. I am not truly familiar with the C60X but am fairly sure the gearbox was heavier than that used in the rest of the CMP Chev family though still a four speed with 1:1 in top gear. (Not overdrive)
I've switched engines 216>270 and 270>216/235 a number of times and unless the CMP used a different length 216 to everything else cannot explain your findings. David

Ian,
That's Andre's truck, right? Lovely! Possibly the only (?) retaining orginal tools in the back. Quote:
So, the 270 block is indeed longer than the 216 block. Alex

If the markings are correct on the door of the above photo's truck, it leads to a few interesting anomolies. The upper number of 43-30207 would appear to be a CAR (Later called CFR) number using the 43 build date. However the 30207 number falls into the numbering block for the Jeeps. I have never seen a CFR based on a WW2 date, nor a CFR of a non-1/4 ton vehicle in that block back then.
I would have to check on the 22-211 number. Vehicles other than motorcycles, were to be numbered starting at 50-001. Motorcycles would be 2-001. I'm not sure if the RCAF used a different system or numbering block.
