The 292 will have conventional motor mounts on the lower side, but the right one will be further forward than the left side. The 292's dont have a draft tube on the passenger side like the 235's and the 292's are slightly bigger. My 292 also has the fuel pump in the middle of the block on the pass. side and the 235 is on the front. The 292 also uses the Chevy V8 bolt pattern for the clutch housing. 292's were usually blue in color and I have seen 235's in grey and lite green, but I dont think that those colors are set in stone, because cars used different colors than the trucks, etc. The best way is to pull the block numbers from in front of the starter and check them against the list on the Inliners web site. Hope that helps.

Easiest way to tell is look at the pushrod/lifter cover side of the block. If it has a single large pushrod cover then it's definitely NOT a 292. If it has 2 pushrod covers about 6 inches in height then the engine is DEFINITELY a 292.

You can also see where the motor mount goes. [img] http://www.chevyasylum.com/64c10/64c10_311r4.jpg[/img] It has an Accel Super coil that Hotrod Lincoln hates (I'm in the process of diggin up a stock coil and cover for it) and an HEI ignition, which works great. It's a real kool motor. I think I'll keep it. | | |

I was going by memory as my 292 was given to me and I have not wrenched on it at all. I remembered a couple of other things as well. The 235's do not have an oil filter on the block and my 292 has a screw-on in front of the fuel pump. The double side covers are probably the best way to tell. Ftyler. I have never seen a front mount 292, but I have not dealt with the 292's much anyway. I would not have guessed that the 292 was lighter than the 235, but with close outside dimensions and larger piston diameters, I could see that. Well, I learned something too.
