Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

Not in your neck of the woods, but my next project will be a 292. My favorite is the 1970 C-10 and I have had one with every engine from a 283 to a 502. Now that I am older I am wanting to do an old school 6 cylinder. I have a 70 C-10 sitting next to my garage, 292 with a 350 trans and power steering. An old man truck for sure. The rust was free. I am planning a 3 duece 292 using Rochester 2 GC carbs, but not sure if I can find an intake. I might have to modify a two one barrel intake and just run two carbs.

Offenhouser makes a three carb intake.

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

I think the Offy intakes that except the three carbs are for the 62 and older 6's. Dual carb is all they make for 230-292.

Here's my winter project for my 250.

Offendhouser makes intakes that will fit a 194-230-250-292 single, dual and triple. Clifford also, the 194(late version)-230-250-292 can use the same intake and exhaust.

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

Hi TJ: If by "Neck of the Woods" being a philosophical state of mind relative to L6s and especially, the 292... then I'm there. Obviously I'm not anywhere near Oregon.
I run a '68 292 L6 in my '68 C/10 Stepside. It's the original engine F0627XAE, on its 1st rebuild, bored .030 over, with Badger pistons, Crane 260H cam, Rhoads lifters, V8 307 intake valves [1.84], hi-volume oil pump, Clifford Research headers, Offenhauser intake, w/ Eddy 1404 500 CFM AFB-type 4 barrel carb and Pertronix Ignitor II ignition. It has turbo muffles on dual exhaust with a crossover tube. I run 235/85R16 tires on 16" rims, since the OEM 17.5" x 5.25" rims gave out with less than 300,000 on them. Rear is a GM 12 Bolt 3.73:1 Eaton Posi.
I have 2 more 292 cores: One ran in the Stepside from 1977 to 2002 racking up 250,000 miles before I had to pull it when the mechanic said it had no action in #3 and #4 cylinders. Since it was bored thirty over in '77, the next rebuild will have to be .040 or .060 [301 CuIn!].
The other core is painted green and the casting numbers say it's a 1962-cast 292 for the '63 model year.
I have a couple of projects on the siding. I need to rebuild my '67 K/10 Suburban, and I have a lot of parts that will comprise a '72 K/5 when assembled in the correct order. For the latter, I have a Rockwell T221/SM465 transmission/transfer case, and the very rare 292-specific, angled L6 crossmember. T

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

I was going to put in a rebuilt 292 6 cylinder, until I found a 6.2 diesel, but if the diesel dies, I still got the 292 their waiting its turn, they just look cool.

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

I've found some 292's that are pulling 325 hp on a dyno on youtube and this 292 on the web (not my engine ) I bought a 292 off craigslist for $200.00 and after a little research found installing "HUMPS" into the head works great .http://http://

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

Lump port head makes a major increase in power. If you do some research on the oem chevy 6 cylinder head you'll know why. lol. Airflow was last on chevys priority for the 6 cylinder head.

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

I will be running a 250 in my grandfather's '70 C20. It's pulled out right now to be rebuilt. I plan on leaving it all stock if possible.

Here it is the way I found it.

Re: Anybody in the neck of the woods with 6 bangers??

It looks tired. Poor motor. Did it even run before you yanked it out?

Yes. It had been sitting for 20 years before I got it. I put new plugs, wires, cap/rotor, coil and a new fuel pump on. It took some fiddling with the distributor to get it running but it finally ran. Surprisingly, it ran pretty well, only a couple minor coughs and sputters. It's supposed to be the original engine and it was rebuilt once back around 1980. I'm going to be rebuilding it in college this spring.
