First let me say that I am in awe of what you are doing Mick. There is power to made with the GM L6 heads, a lot of machine work and porting. The point I believe a few member are trying to make is that your still putting it in an old truck. To get the power that these engine will make you need to reach the usable RPM levels, for most folks that will never happen. I am a fan of the 292, I have only built one but enjoyed learning all about that engine. It's true that it's a torque monster but with the right parts and some ingenuity it will make a great deal of power. The key to any real power is being able to make it breathe. There is a lot of information out there you just need to look.
P.S. I grew up around drag racing and such in the California central valley.
