292 mounting HELP!!!!

[glimmertwin01]

ok Stupid request.. could you get me some pictures of the engine mounts specifically how they are attached to themotor thru the cross memeber and to the block mount? the PO had taken the motor out and the one I got was already out of the truck with the c shaped rubber mount and the small square rubber and bolts already set aside.. I may be missing something or just having a brain fart but i want to get the motor in my truck with all the mounts properly installed
here is what I have i tried installing like in the last pic.. something doesnt seem right!

[100%Chevy]

The pieces you have laying on the board are for the rear crossmember.The "C" shaped one goes on top of the crossmember and the little square one goes inside the bottom of the crossmember.The long bolt goes thru it all.
Your front side mounts aren't all there,or I don't see all of it.
Mike.

Those mounts pictured are for the bell housing to cross member on manual transmission trucks. They are not motor mounts

[glimmertwin01]

so Im missing a crossmember? here are some pics of my chassis

[glimmertwin01]

do you mean the t case tranny X member? obviously I have that one ...LOL

['68OrangeSunshine]

Four wheel drive trucks require a special 292-only motor mount crossmember. It's diagonal to match the 292's more-forward passenger side motor mount.
Looks like you have one.
You might need to move it to the forward holes, not the SBC mounts.

I dont know... I wish i had seen the motor being removed..... I have 2 cross members the offset one for the motor and the trans one with tranny attched... themotormounts are still on the 292.. they just look small... thanks for the input so far guys... if someone has a pic of 292 motor mounts Illknow ifi have all the stuff i need..thanks

['68OrangeSunshine]

PM me. I can't upload to this forum, but I may be able to email you some of my build up pix.

[glimmertwin01]

bolted it in in the same holes as the donor truck had them mounted towards the front

['68OrangeSunshine]

PM sent.
What's your whole set up?
'67 K/20, 292, SM420, Rockwell T-221 is what it looks like from the photo.

[glimmertwin01]

Brian...exactly was a 292 to start with the PO put in a 383 stroker and used avintage 69 Z 28 block thats how i acquired the truck the guy I got it from bought it for the block... someone bought the cab so i got another that was beat up but it works.... (after months of sheetmetal repair.... ) I dont have the luxury of living in the arrid southwest.. so we make due with the junk we find up here... its a 67 but will be a 68 by VIN when done... KS248...etc
HO52 with 4.56 gears, SM420, T221 1.94 case , 292... 4 inch lift ..it had 35s on it when it came to western NY im going with Military OZ's which are 36X12.50x 16.5... on black wagon wheels. the cab is a 2 wd 67 CST which is Lt blue.. with white roof
Im goin with the lt green (as I call it Crest toothpaste green) with a white top and the side mouldings....Ill post pics of the block in a few
i emailed you at your email addy

[glimmertwin01]

oh and it was already converted to disc brakes and PS....

[glimmertwin01]

pics of mounts ok they are different so which is which...i didnt pay attention
and the rt side had 2 sleve spacers under the mount against the block but no bolds in the 2 lower holes on the block just the sleeves the sleeves are in front of the mounts in the pics and my PS bracket...

[glimmertwin01]

and now the cleaned block with head and block IDs

note its Dark blue but the pan valve cover and intake are red any decyphering help would be great and i went to Adv auto to get a new clutch and gaskets and see if i could get a timing chain.... clutch kit was cheap...the timing chain n gears isnt and said it was Aluminum gears could that be right??? and 70 bux to boot... like 3 times the cost of s SBC cahin n gears

[Tx Firefighter]

Inline 6 engines don't use a timing chain. They use a cam gear that meshes directly with the crank gear. They don't wear much, so don't worry about it.

[glimmertwin01]

thanks man

You want the metal timing gears. Somebody sells plastic, nylon or fibreglas gearsets -- skip that. I got 25 years and 250,000 miles out of my last 292 that I built in 1977. These things last.
As I said in the email F0817XAE means:
F= Built at Flint Mich.
08 = On August,
17=the 17th,
XAE= '68 292 Manual transmission

The mounts you show in the pic are a mismatch.
There's an old style, and a new "safety" style. Looks like you have one of each. You got the leavings from somebody else's engine swap. Just get 2 new mounts. Looks like the SBC and the L6s share the same type. You want fresh rubber anyway. So what if they're made in Thailand or India -- that's where the rubber is. About $15 each at the major vendors.

Also "12.6.84" is most likely the rebuilders' date stamp.

[glimmertwin01]

cool
thanks for the input the PO said he pulled it from a 1969 1 ton... with PS thats how i got the PS bracket..

['68OrangeSunshine]

P/S brackets are very hard to get for the 292.

[67chevy3/4tontruck]

From what i here from alot persons the chevy 292 engine parts are hard too find evening the mounting

['68OrangeSunshine]

That's what makes them so cool.

[scuderia]

[RANDY COX]

I found the motor perch I need going to get it next sunday..

['68OrangeSunshine]
