Hello,
Just bought my first Chevy. She’s a 1936 Gillig bodied school bus. First order of business is tires and motor.
I could really use some help identifying the motor! If its not the original I will replace. If it is, I will rebuild.
Can anyone help?
The motor is stamped 270835977. I was told it is a 207 Master. Have no clue.
Please help :)

Thank you, Gene.

I only see one set of numbers. The series of numbers (no letters) are to the left of the distributor. 270 (small type) followed by 835977.
Perhaps I need to look around for more...

Thanks again
