i think you will really like the 292. they are my personal favorite. it you want to drive interstate speed you may want to consider the t5 from the s10 or the auto if it has overdrive. they are a torque monster, and can be built for power. better than a small block- one head gasket, quicker valve adjustment, easier timing adjustment, no fuel pump rod, easier spark plug changes, easier exaust, direct drive timing- no chain slop, the list goes on and on. plus turning a rebuilt 292 with with the head off and seeing 1@6, 2@5, and 3@4 all working in perfectly balance perfection is a sight a v8 can't reproduce. hr
