If you are going to put your old jimmy motor back in then I wouldn't use the 292, since you need to move the motor mounts and maybe the radiator, but it is a good engine (one of the best inlines) and it is a good conversion motor. If it is in running shape I would take it and use it as trade fodder to get the one you want. You could probably find someone to trade your 292 for a good running GMC engine.

Oh yes, one way to tell a 292 from other chevy inlines is that the side motor mounts are not in the same place. The passenger side on the 292 is moved forward a bit and swapped with where the fuel pump is on the 250. They are in the same position on both sides on the 250. Another is that a 292 has a taller deck and the side covers are long.
