Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I have an issue with my 292. I am swapping out a 250. I do have a 292 perch and now I have a problem with the bracket that bolts to the passenger side of the block. The holes in the bracket are too far apart by about 1/2" and there is a 1" gap between the bracket and the motor mount. Is the bracket that bolts to the block different on the 292. If it is is there a source for them and if so please let me know. Thanks - Terry

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
i believe they are different... here is a link to use the same motor mounts as a 250 but would need to use a electric fuel pump

And for the 4X4s there's a special 292-Only K/ type crossmember.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Here's some pictures for reference of a 65 or earlier block on the mounts and perches. You can see the spacer between the block and engine perch. In 66 this design was changed so the engine perch mounted directly to the block.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
So I just moved and moving my 65 and all its parts got me thinking about my engine build. While I am still a while away from starting the engine build I started to do some research on fuel injection. My plan had been to run triple side draught Webers but I see companies like Jenvey are making Weber replacements and I must admit the thought of individual throttle bodies on my little 230 sounds pretty appealing. Has anyone done this before?

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
Here's one. Not quite what you had in mind I bet but it could work on an inline six just as well. There is a more compelling case for using two throttle bodies on a flat-6 though.
![]() I am thinking about this setup for my '61 Corvair Lakewood wagon. Here's the web page if anyone is interested. ...ned.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines

The engine would have a total of 6 throttle bodies, 1 per cylinder. Not unlike a high performance BMW M3/M5 6-cylinder from the 90's. First thing I would need is is a triple side draught Weber manifold. I'm also reading up on a Meqasquirt ECU to control everything. I've built one before to control a fuel injected rotary engine in an RX-7 that I used to own. As I mentioned earlier in the thread my 230 is original to my truck but I do plan to be pretty aggressive with the build. I'm not opposed to the 250 crank but I have the 6 counterweight 64-66 crank which is a pretty stout choice.

Re: Tricked-out Chevy six cylinder engines
I started a 261 build to replace my current 235. Going to do some very minor porting and cleanup on the head and will post some pictures soon. The head will get all new valves with the larger intake valves installed , new springs, new guides and new positive oil seals.
