Hey Thomas!

I just found out the other day how to identify which inline 6 you have. Look at the pushrod covers. The tall ones (like 6") are for the 292, and the short ones are for the 250. Also, the fuel pump and distributor appear to be in different locations for the 292 and 250.

I just found out this weekend that I actually have the 292 (I thought I had the 250).

The 250 was available from the factory for these trucks, so as far as I know it should just swap in.

What condition is the motor in?
