I haven't purchased rollers yet but maybe I'll just forget them. I don't have a ton of money to spend. I think the money would be better spent on headers. I already have 3" Magnaflow on my truck with the long quiet muffler. As for carbs? Not sure which way to go. I had a 4 bbl on the 250, but the 700R4 shift cable was a problem to hook up along with the accelerator cable. Thats why I thought of the two single barrels as the linkage would be easy to put on. Its was over carbed with a 600 Holley which the shop recommended they had on one of their rigs. Then they realized theirs was switched to a 390 cfm. A BIG difference. I have been to the Inliners site recently and some time back I got a form to join their club which I probably will do. Nice site. Good info. After the sour experience with the rv cam on the 250 I am leary about going that way again. There were two cams lower they could have used. They went with a Comp 240 cam. Had almost .060 more lift than stock. It went flat immediately on the back cylinder on the intake lobe. I broke it in properly. I primed the oil with a drill and watched the oil flow through the valve cover before I started it. It took a few times before it started anyway. I ran it for 27 minutes at about 2000-2500 rpms. It idles poorly in gear and has low power as it can't burn the fuel fast enough. Far too much fuel even with the stock one barrel I have. Even going down the highway it runs so so though better than in town. I'm sure the 292 will be an improvement over the 250 being its going in a 4X4. Got good gears. 3.73s with OD. I still have a 4bbl intake but I actually sold it with the 250. I could retain it if I wanted too. Just a hassle with the cables I mentioned. No bracket available to hook them up. Thanks for the answer and suggestions. I'll make up my mind by Monday or Tuesday when I order the engine. Its going to cost about $2300 for it. I could get it stock with the propane pistons for just over $1350 without headwork, harmonic balancer, rv cam or flexplate plus shipping including core charge as I don't have one. Thats with a 7/70 warranty. Not too bad. I think the porting and polishing will help it breathe better expecially climbing passes. I just want it to run the best and as efficiently as possible.
