For 292 fans
"The truck man's truck engine" with "traditional virtues". The engine was a fleet favorite at UPS in tough stop and go delivery work before they went diesel in the 90's.

Re: For 292 fans
The 292 will taken out of the C60 I've bought and be going into the K10 project. When I was researching modifying my 250, the word was to treat the 292 like a Big Block.

Re: For 292 fans
Aerotruk - those images are great. Do you have them larger size or better quality? I'd love to be able to look those over...

Re: For 292 fans
Thanks! I'm glad somebody posted these, but they're a little tough to read. I'll have to try and track down the original document.

Re: For 292 fans
283=3" stroke,327= 3 1/4" stroke, 396=3 3/4" stroke,454=4.0" stroke. 292=4 1/8" stroke. The 292 is the original "stroker engine".

Re: For 292 fans
Switch the head from a 194 it's like a closed chamber head and you will up the compression ratio. Pertronix for the distributer for original look with a hotter spark. Iridium plugs. 8mm wires, Remove the oil bath guts and find a K&N filter with an adapter if necessary and install it in the stock air cleaner assembly. What else without machining or loosing originality?

Re: For 292 fans
Don't expect to spin it too much. Long stroke = high piston velocity for a given rpm = large loads on main bearings, rod bearings, and rod bolts.

Re: For 292 fans
Thanks for the info..
I just purchased my first 1966 C20 Chevy truck and my first 292. So far (after power wash) the engine is showing the leaks. I have a rear main, pan, distributor, oil leaks. The carb needs rebuilt and the exhaust manifolds leak. Not but for a original engine! I am working on making it a daily driver. |
