Re: Some info on the 292 I6
Well, it's good to make it down low on a work truck. And it adds to longevity when you don't have to spin too fast (although the piston velocity is high for a given rpm on a 292 due to the stroke, which increases main bearing loads significantly).
My understanding is that UPS had good luck in their trucks with the 292 for many years due to these characteristics. A high-winding 327 with a torque peak at 4500 rpm is a wonderful motor in a 'Vette, but kinda lacking when you have a full load in the bed and you're stopped on a hill.
