Yeah, that's the engine outta the white 64...its a 292...the 292 in my 66 will be going in the 64 later on...I have plans for that engine as well...
Thanks brotha!!! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Dang man. I'm liking your truck. I grew up in Grants Pass myself. My dad had a white '65 long bed with a 292. That thing would put a whippin on my '62 with a 283 in it. Love those motors.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks man! Good to see another Oregon member checkin in! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Well got the rest of the block taken apart....now down to the machine shop friday! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Sweet...getting closer and closer!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Neat. What kind of a cam did you end up going with?

BTW, a note for other 292 fans; the LPG pistons are still available.

I had read in the past several times that they were out of production, but they aren't; Summit has them for $256 a set. Just search Sealed Power 980P; the last two digits after the P will be the overbore (980P20=.020", etc.). :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

I may have a few years on ya brother, but I still love playing with blocks as well!!! :metal::haha::bann:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Yep sure is! And I'm getting more an more excited. lol!
That's part of the big secret! lol! Summint just barely started selling the LPG pistons because a few months ago when I was looking at summit for pistons they only had stock type for the 292. Cool to see a "budget set" though....mine were $600....But mine are a forged aluminum set as well.

Amen brotha! lol! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Dropped the engine off at the machinist today! Should see it done sometime late November. AH!!! Its so close its scary! And the wait......... :whine::m5::banghead::thud::drama::smoke: So...anyhow....Got a ton a parts on order....Summit Racing is a great place for parts...heck..orders over $99 free 2-4 day shipping!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey TJ, I had not run across your thread before. Happened upon it, and just finished going through it from the beginning. Love your truck, and your journey to date, and I was very surprised to learn how young you are. You seem wise and mature well beyond your years, and it is great to see a young guy like yourself having such a keen interest in the old chevy iron!! Keep on keeping on, looking forward to following your future progress.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Rusty and CRGR!
