hey everyone i have been away for quite some time and appreciate all of the feed back on this swap. i had already anticipated the fabwork required to mount the 292 into the frame. i am pre planning to use what i believe is an SM420? 4 speed that is still in the truck with the donor 292. as for whom ever posted about the small block swap... naa thanks for the input but naa love the 292 personally. retro-ish i-6 platform with v-8 torque and power cant go wrong. they sound sooooo sweat too. plus i wanna build an ad chevy or gmc that will apear original (working/worn) and be daily driver dependable updated to 12 volts able to run down the highway and i would like to figure out a way to get 8 lug disc brakes on the front. (i already have a 51 one ton with 9ft bed located and prying on the guy that owns it to come up off of it so i can make it look and drive a little better. but you know how that can be specially with family (my dad has owned this truck since i was three or four) since about 1993 or 94 it has been sitting waiting for a heart transplant. it went through many stages of storage from garage to next to the garage under a tree to outside in the elements completely to now where i have it inside covered and moth balled. he couldnt understand why i moved it back inside and dryed everything out and put it in proper storage till i asked him to give me the title in exchange for a car i am letting my little sister drive. still gonna take more than that. maybee i will just fix it and make him let me drive it. either way i appreciate everyones replys
