250 stands are very much loke small block ones, but they are a little bit taller IIRC. The 292, will have one 250 stand, and one stand all it's own.

Look at the side covers on the passenger side of the engine by the distributor.

If they are 4 inches tall, it's either a 230 or 250.

If they are 6 inches tall, it's a 292.
