Thanks for the reply. I already have Santucci's book. Read about all of it. A great source of info. Had a couple of 250s and a 230 and they ran just great. The 292 is definately a stump puller. Major torque and you can get grunt cams for it. Pulls like an 8 but more room under the hood and a simple reliable design. Thanks again. Something to think about. I did find a 292 two days ago that would be a good rebuilder. Hmmmm. Henry
