The 292 is my first jump into a HiPo 6. My Dad had a friend with a blown 300 $@*! in an Anglia body, he ran alcohol. It did really well, course he wasn't pushing the weight of a truck. I learned a lot about factory GM heads doing this build, most are junk when it comes to making them breathe. I matched the gaskets and blended the runners while doing the lump port conversion. Enlarged the intakes to 1.86 and exhaust to 1.60 and took .020 off the head. I think I have a good combination for what it's going in.
