Do the 292! Stump pulling power and as this picture shows they can be made BEAUTIFUL. I have a 350 in my '46 but if it had come with a 216 or 235 I'd have kept the 235 or if it had needed rebuilding, I'd have shopped for a 292. 350's are nice, truly nice but a big inch straight six is SO right in these trucks. Especially when they're trimmed out so nicely. Post what you decide to do please. Best, Dan
