There are spacers between the block and mount, also think the mount it's self is different.

I am attempting to use the brackets from the previous motor a 250. Does the passenger side bracket from an original 292 have to be used also? Thoughts

I ran into this the other day myself; I was trying to use '69 250 block mounts on my '73 or '83 292 block (IIRC). Not sure how it varies through the years (or if it does).

I decided that it seemed like I could redrill the mount and make it work IIRC, but I need to pull the correct mount off another 292 I have and check (hopefully Sunday/Monday).

Anyone else?

See above.

the subject is 1963-6. as also above I said that the 292 pass side perch is it's own. the ones between the block and the insulator are the same

I am not talking about the 63-66 right hand perch that mounts to the frame, we all know that the 292 uses its own.

The right hand block mount that goes between the block and the rubber mount that came off my '69 250 is absolutely not the same as what is on my other 292 and will not work on my rebuilt 292 that needs the same mount. I'm not sure about early blocks, but the statement that "the ones between the block and the insulator are the same" is wrong. There is absolutely a 292-specific right hand block mount (at least for the later model blocks).
