The rod journal on the old engine is larger than the 292 so have your crank ground "off center" and it acts as a mini stroker. I can't remember the exact pistons used but they are from an older Cadillac V8 (like a 368 or something) and have just the right piston pin height to work. Depending on the over-bore it gives you around 285 to 288 cu in. Tom Langdon at the Stovebolt Engine Co. has all the pieces. If you go to the Gallery you will find a picture of my '50 pickup and the engine under Ron and Kim Plenders 1950 pickup. | | |
