greetings from n.h. i have installed a 230 cu. in. in my 55 first series chevy. i used a late 60s truck bell housing , home made side mounts,[but these are similar to v8 mounts and can be purchased, seperate mounts for each side must be used on the 292]. i used a short style water pump, purchased and modified a throttle linkage set for a v8 swap that must use a 53-55 gas pedal. now the 292 is similar to the 230 except the 292 is a little taller but the length is the same.the 230 fit in my truck with about an inch between the fancy fan i used and the radiator. and the 292 has staggered side mounts. some comment that if you do this swap , you coulda had a v8. the good thing is you can use a little more modern engine without messing with the stock steering! one more thing is you will probably have to use a single pulley on the vibration dampener on a 292. good luck.
