Thanks for the picture.
I was looking closely at the first V6 in the picture. 'LV' is written on the oil pan, and notice it has a crank-mounted fan, long heater hoses, a hydraulic clutch, remoted control shifter on the transmission and no air brake compressor. Just what you would expect the engine to have if it was going into an LV5000 (tilt cab with vacuum brakes). Behind that V6 is a Chevy High Torque 409. Since the GMC V6's were all made in Pontiac and the 409's came from Tonawanda I suspect the picture is of an engine dress line at a truck assmebly plant, not an engine plant.
