Re: Some info on the 292 I6

I'm trying to get an idea of the 292's characteristics, because the one time I drove it out on the road, there was lots of noise, lots of shaking, vibration, got all the way into fourth, differentials screaming, and found I was only doing forty or so. Now I've poked around here just enough to know that you guys like the 292, and hold it be heresy to swap in a 350, so I'm trying to understand more about horsepower, torque, RPMs, gearing, and how all that affects the overall feel of the truck. I would like to be able to get it higher than 40, 60 would be plenty fast enough I'm sure, I don't need a speed demon. But I'm used to small Japanese cars, and this is very different. Behind the 292, I've got a 4 speed tranny, and 4.10 gears. Just want to understand how it all interacts so I know what to change (or fix) to make it alittle more highway friendly.

That page looked like all the info I need, but if I zoomed in on it, the resolution wasn't good enough to read it. What book did that come from?

Thanks
Tony
