292 Made in Mexico
Just picked up a 292 made in Mexico. Any thoughts or concerns with these? Maybe a potential project. Thanks in advance

Re: 292 Made in Mexico
There must have been a Brazilian Target Master V-8s made in Mexico, so the 292 should be fine. Maybe brush up on your Portuguese? J/K, does it run OK?

It’s taken apart. Everything looks good. Thought about building it and see what happens. Didn’t know if anyone has any experience with one

Re: 292 Made in Mexico
I bought a wallet in Mex. in 1992 and I just threw it away so I think the engine should be good.

Re: 292 Made in Mexico
If my memory is correct...when they first started making the "Target" engines, in the late 70's. I believe they made several engines, beside the 350. I'm thinking the 292 was one, and the 454, of course. I know they made a 366. The company I worked for bought one for one of our 2 ton trucks...

Re: 292 Made in Mexico
I had a girlfriend that was made in Mexico. I had some trouble with her. Maybe it was just me. Okay...It was me.
 It's funny. Even if you get cussed out in a foreign language. You still know you're getting cussed out.
