So, searching the web I find this great deal seemingly, but alas too far and no space. I am sharing what info I received from the owner and hope another member closer, may benefit and save it.
CL ad says GMC V6, with 5 speed transmission. It's blue faded paint; A replacement block (?!?). No engine size listed and the
Price; $50!!
One of those "Ran-when-pulled" but, the V6 is indestructible, right?"
I reach out and get more photos and info. Seller text that it came out of a Consolidated Freightliner truck with 5 and 4 (?). I don't know what 5 and 4 refers too.
Looks like it might be a magnum, from what I can see of the carb base. He sends me a photo that has the part number on the intake.
Here is info from the Previous Forum Posts from Pete Chronis;

I wasn't aware there were two Trapezoidal Intake manifolds with one being non-magnum. Great info thanks Pete.
This engine has the Intake part numbered "
2424179 for the 60-65 401 to 478 engines also have the trapezoid base but > smaller ports and you don't want that one"
Seller says he did not think there was a number on the engine pad area where I asked him to look. He was going to check again later.
Few days later I get a text back. He says the pad reads, 401M!!!!
I asked for photo and its confirmed. Photos say it all.
I do not vouch for the seller or engine condition, but it seems like a terrific deal to me. I submit this to the club so that hopefully it can be rescued and put back into a truck.
Seller was very easy to deal with and gave all photos I requested. I think he just wants it gone.
