I see there are a lot of fans of the 292 on here. I agree it is a stump pulling motor, but if I ever plan on traveling to shows, I would like to have a motor with which I can instill a little more trust in. The story is, I already ordered the motor and am awaiting its arrival. There is something about a V8 that is hard for me to shy away from. Having said all of that, I will be pulling the motor within the next few days and to the "guest" member that stated he would like to know if I would be getting rid of the motor, the answer is yes. I realize that the truck will never do a hundred and fifty, but with the right gearing and an eventual transmission swap, I could get darn close (not that I would, I will leave that to the car guys). Thanks for your input guys, there are pictures of the truck in the gallery if anyone is interested in seeing it.
As far as the headers, I am still planning on using them, it is just a matter of getting a thick flanged header and a good gasket with some heat shields for the wires. I like my V8's and headers, nothing personal, thanks again for the input.
