I would like to install a 292 in an 87 pick up 4X4. I noticed that the 292 motor mount has a different location on the passenger side as they are offset from a 250. Mine is the last of the square pick ups and I love it. I wanted to install a 292 but the motor mount bracket that goes to the frame is in the wrong place. Can it be moved to the corect position and then installed? Or is it a forget it and install a 327 ordeal? I have a 250 in it with the WRONG cam and its under powered and chews almost as much gas as a 454. Black tailpipe and sooty plugs. The machine shop admitted the mistake and has a stock cam for it which I was told would make a big difference in the way it would run. I sold this engine to a friends son for his rig which I have to pull in about a week or so. I figured a 292 with propane 9.0:1 pistons and headwork, headers and two singles would do the trick. Thats why the swap. I know the bracket to the frame un bolts. Then what? Do I need to do some cutting or welding? Can a 250 with headwork, headers, SMALL cam and two single carbs work well in this full size 8' rig or is it just too small? It has a 700R4 instead of a manual trans. I have 3.73 gears.
