Bob, those GMC engines are HUGE and HEAVY! I doubt it would be a good
choice, and NO parts hardly for them. I've owned the smaller 305's and had
problem with parts.

  In your search for a "different" alternative driveline for an AD, you
Surely come up with some weird ideas!!  Why not buy  a GMC with nice six and
be Happy?  OR, maybe a Toyota or something, that would be an oddball to me.
Just don't park it in my driveway! HA!
