It is more work installing a 292 than it is to install a small block V8. You can buy a 350 crate motor tomorrow, or you can buy a 'pig in a poke' 292 or a 261 and end up spending more money to rebuild either of those engines than what a crate 350 costs.
Here is a pic of my '49 3100 with a dressed up 1974 "Thrift Master" 350 in the engine bay.
