Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
Some GM literature states the 292 weighs 561 lbs dry with clutch. I don't know about that accuracy but I'm going to look into it. At any weight, it's still a rad motor!

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I think a I6 with a turbo would be a lot of fun to drive around.

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
![]() Does anybody else's truck accelerate faster when the pedal is half to the floor as opposed to pedal to the metal? is that just the torque curve of the 6 or a carb issue?

Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!
I didn't go thru all 25 pages of this thread but has anybody done a T5 tranny swap in a 250? I found a article online for swapping T5's on 216, 235, and 261 older straight sixes. So I was curious if this would would work on a early 70's 250??
I drug home a 72 Suburban and it has the 250 straight 6 with a 3 speed behind it. I'd like to keep the 6 just from reading a few pages of this thread. Seems like a really good motor and plus it's already in the burban. But I'm completely clueless when it comes to these motors, ha!

Broke it in on a test stand and it sounds like an exotic V6 ! Even has a slight lope at idle... ![]() Looking for a big truck dipstick assembly. Tube needs to be 13" long. ![]() ![]() ![]() Going in my '52 2 ton. Future car hauler. ![]() |

RE : longer dip stick & tube ;
Look in G - vans , that's where I found mine , fits all I6 engines , you'll need to replace the middle bolt in the tappet cover as it's a studded bolt to support thwe dip stick tube to prevent it from cracking . There are several versions & lengths , I like the really long one that ends next to the radiator's tank , makes it dead easy to check the oil level . Here's also an end support on the longer ones , make sure to grab that too . Did I ever post pix of my late model Mexican 292 ? .
