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:

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.
