For a 292 six cylinder with over 110k miles on it that runs, what would you pay for it?

72freak · 12-05-2008, 09:42 PM

They dont bring much at all.......$200 at most

murdoc · 12-05-2008, 09:58 PM

ya id say about that as well. or $800 for a rebuilt long block. at least thats what im selling mine for. no takers yet tho.......

I have seen them "free for the taking" and over $500.00, so it depends on how motivated the seller is.

The 292 was, argueably, the most desired six in the 4-5-6 Chevy trucks.

davidh · 12-05-2008, 11:09 PM

see them going for $300 running. Is the head the same as 250? Ive heard yes and no.

murdoc · 12-05-2008, 11:24 PM

ive heard the same too, a machinist told me theres a slight difference in the head from the 230s and the 250's. obviously not enough of a difference to those who sell these heads rebuilt. they all say they interchange just fine.

I seen one on CL here in Houston for 200.00 plus the 3 speed, guy pulled it and put a 350 set up. He just wanted out his garage. And was running when pulled, thats what all them say. Good luck..

The 292 head is taller than the 230/250 head and is not interchangeable.

I've spoken with the guy and he wants $500 dollars for it to include the 4 speed (granny) transmission that backs it up.

I've been looking here in the Ft Worth area and this is the best deal I can find............

That's it! He told me $500 from Joshua, TX.

PrerunnerRob · 12-06-2008, 02:59 AM

So can I count on a check for $50 from you?

PrerunnerRob · 12-06-2008, 03:07 AM

thats cheap for a 5.3mtr! Its the brackets that will cost you on that though. I want to do that with my 65 chevelle.

davidh-ROFLMAO at your sig!!!!!

Back on topic- I would also try to go for the 5.3 combo. That's a good price. If you're stuck on the I6 though, there's nothing wrong with that either. Good luck!
