Got the 292 in my '63 back running (video)

Finally got around to putting the 292 in my '63 dually back together, took a little video of it running. Nice to have it back together running well. And yes, exhaust pipe is for high rollers, lol.

Revving the Chevy 292 in '63 Chevy C-30 - YouTube

From the description: "The 292 in my 1963 Chevrolet C-30 dually. Just got it back together, bought it from a guy that said it just needed the valves adjusted, lol. The head was gouged .030" deep between the chambers, and it looked like epoxy was the first "fix" for this. His was gray silicone, lol. All the head bolts were wedged in filthy holes, and came out with nearly installation torque. The rear bolts weren't even torqued down. I wonder why it blew out, lol. I put it back together with another useable head I had, seems good now. (The gouged head with good valves will be decked and put on my 292 I'm rebuilding."

Come on you can rev a six more than that. Let`s hear the swarm!

Yeah, I was just messing around, I don't even think I got it past about 3,000 in that clip. I'll have to wind it up once or twice, at least when I get the truck driving. I kind of like hearing the big six scream, hehehe. I'm tempted to just dump a straight pipe out in front of the duals and see what it sounds like.

Ad some !!!! Them really rev it! Don't worry...You have seven main barrings! Or should I say had seven main barrings before the block blew up!
Those 6 cylinder will sound like they are doing 3000 when they are really doing 2300. With that stock 1 barrel carb and cam you can floor it in neutral and it will most likely hit 4300 at max. Mine even with the 600 cfm edelbrock will only do 4300 in neutral at full throttle! But it has some serious low end torque!

Check out the mighty6 if you want to see a badass 292. 8.44@160 in the 1/4, 292's can certainly take some abuse! I think I remember reading they shift it @ 7,200RPM.
