292 to 250 swap
Hello fello forum members. I need some help with a 1968 GMC. It had a 292 in it but threw a rod and put a nice hole in the block. I was not able to find a 292 in my area but came up with a 1970 Nova 250 motor, that was standard bore. I am having trouble getting the motor mounts to line up. I am useing the stock perches that came on the truck and I moved the passenger side perch back, into the holes already in the frame. I used the metal brackets that came with the 250 motor and installed new rubber mounts for the 250. The trouble I have I can not get the passenger side mount lined up! Is there a difference? Am I doing something wrong or do I need different perches? Please help!
Thank you, skip |

Yeah, your lucky it's not the other way around. That right side 292 tower is rare as hen's teeth. And so, valuable. (nudge nudge wink wink)

Re: 292 to 250 swap
Thank you all very much for the info and help! Dad67 has the perches I need to make the swap work! Pritch, are you needing a passenger side perch for a 292 motor, I know someone that might have one! Hahaha!
Thanks again to all for the help! skip |
