Is a GM 366 a big block?
366. The 366 cu in (6.0 L) Big Block V-8 gasoline engine was used only in Chevrolet medium duty trucks and in school buses. The 366 was produced only as a tall-deck engine, with a deck 0.4 in (10 mm) taller than the 396, 402, and 454 short-deck Big Blocks.
Is the 366 GM truck motor a good motor?
Arizona The 366 was a good motor, lots of low end torque and they are not near as bad as a 370 Ford on fuel consumption. I always found their fuel and ignition systems less tempermental than a Ford. Instead of an overhaul you might look into a crate engine from a Chev or GMC dealer. Prices are not too bad and you get a decent warranty.

Is there a 366 motor in a GMC 7000?
We recently bought a GMC 7000 off of Ebay and it has a worn out 366 in and we’re tossing around the idea of either rebuilding this motor or finding a rebuildable 427. I’d like to slip a small diesel in it’s place but we don’t want to spend 20 grand on a 2 grand truck.
