Back on the road again
I'm sure all remember my post where my small block scattered Saturday night.
Well, I got the inline engine in, built another new exhaust and it seems to run real well. The 292's torque coupled with the auto trans is real nice. I searched the Tx Firefighter B-POD (that's big ol pile of driveshafts) and found one the perfect length. I got lucky, it took about 7 hours and cost about 20 bucks. I had to buy some trans cooler hose to extend the lines since the 6 was moved back compared to the SBC. I will be at Decatur after all.

Re: Back on the road again
Glad to hear it's back on the road! It must have been a sign,... that you need another big block. Time to start looking for a low mileage 1-ton donor truck. You have had some of the coolest trucks on here,... including your newest budget build. Keep us posted.

Re: Back on the road again
Way to hustle bud! So I guess your intention is to take it to Decatur to sell it then?

Glad you got it running again, that sucker is too cool to not drive to a swap meet.

Re: Back on the road again
Just remember,those are long rods for someone that has trouble with running over his own rod.I don`t think so...292s are bullet-proof.

Re: Back on the road again
I drove it to the swap meet, which was the goal. I met a few new board members there and scored a few killer deals of parts and stuff.
When I get my nerve up, I'll remove the oil pan and get pictures of the carnage. I'm kind of depressed about it, so I just put it on the engine stand and covered it up with a big fender apron so I don't have to look at it.

Re: Back on the road again
what trans did you use with the 292 and did you have to use an adapter?
