What needed to swap to 292
 

I currently have a 261 (same as 235) in my truck with 4spd. But I have been offered a 292 with power steering, intake and headers from a friend for $400. What will need to be changed to go to a 292? Bell housing? Motor mounts? Anything else? Thanks.

Bell housing....clutch and pressure plate....You'll need mounts and perches for a 292....That has a manual clutch right?

there are several ways to do it. if you can find a 60-62 283 bellhousing will simplify your clutch problems as it has the passenger side access for the hydr. clutch the 60-62 housing will fit a chev engs 63 and up for many years.

It's a hydraulic clutch

So will only the 60-62 283 bell housing work? Or will any small block bell housing work? And will any small block motor mounts bolt right in or will they need modification? Any help is appreciated as I am very lost right now.

this is basically the same except that the passenger side perch is set forward for the 292 eng
