David, i think those numbers are attainable, even with my limited experience at this engine stuff.

and lump ports aren't just for racers, it helps improve head flow regardless of applications.
check out www.inliners.org there is plenty about hop up over there.

BUT.

a virtual 292. would have...either triple deuces, or triple quads. dual exhaust out of headers. glass packs. Twisted 6 lump ports. a good low end build. and a bullet proof tranny to back it up. sorta like a SM-465, but only with OD. lol. and what would it be in...does it really matter with an engine like that!??

.later days.
.desperado.

1969 K20 , with a '67 front clip. fleetside. 292, 3x1 offy, headers. sm465 4spd. getting put back together, almost ready for paint.
doing it all myself.
19 and lovin' it.

"proper" is so over-rated.
