Thanks for the clip. But only 110 HP? That' a bit low. It's pre-'67 and only has a Monojet and stock intake and exhaust manifolds. He probably has it de-tuned so as not to warp his sawblade and such.

If he had HEI, Edelbrock 4 barrel @500 CFM. on an Offenhauser aluminum intake and Clifford headers, he would likely just get a big pile of sawdust but in a hurry.

The L6 292 [RPO L25] is a good stable powerplant for fixed operations: Irrigation pumps, electric generators, etc. They were common in UPS trucks, schoolbusses, dump trucks, food trucks. Not as thrifty on gas as the 250, but pretty much bombproof.
I got 250,000 miles out of one I rebuilt in 1977 -- ran til 2002. I rebuilt my OEM L25 block, and that was 20 years ago this month. And it still uses 30 weight. Haven't needed to keep upping the viscosity to get better sealing cylinders. I have two 292 cores, and I may rebuild one to resurrect my '67 K/10 Suburban. The other would be cool in a '72 K/5 I've been hoarding.
Big plans. No cash.

Anybody who advises me that I should drop my 'Boat Anchor' and pop in a crate Tree Fitty -- I ask if their Mom knows they're outside without their bike helmet?
