the easy way to tell a 292
all 292's have two, 6'' side valve insp covers
dist is located between cyl #'s 1 & 2
below the dist at #1 is a spin on oil filter pass side
they are 1.75'' taller BUT the same length as all other L-6, exclude 302's and 308's
side offset motor mounts.
i don't believe they ever came in II's
