If a GMC block, the engine serial number will start with the engine size, 288, 316, 347 or 336 depending on the year. And no, I can't tell you why GMC advertised one cubic inch larger than Pontiac in 1955 and one smaller in '56

Bill, thanks for that extra info regarding the GMC identification. As we say in the vernacular, who knew? :-)
Larry, I just had my radiator re-cored. It's definitely a '56 (no trans cooler in it). Indeed, there is a lot which has been done to this poor car over the years that none of us would have done (I won't belabor this thread with descriptions of the rat's nest I cut out from under the dash - and still not done; I'm really looking at a new harness, but I needed to get the spaghetti out of the way so I could remove the other components). The trans cooler was just a "minor" mess. Stay tuned for tales of my next adventure under the hood and under the car.
