Any problem putting a 292c.i. inline 6 in a '72 Nova? Like the right engine mount which is forward of the left mount? How much taller is a 292 than a 250? Really don't want a hood scoop or whatever, but...........? Using 700R4 trans.

The 292 is 1.750" taller than the 250. The rest is the same. Water pump will be higher as well. The motor mount location will need to addressed. There is a adaptor the should work for this, you may need to hit the salvage yards to find one. Chevrolet didn't change the frames for different engines, they adapted the engine to the frame. Joe

I think one problem will be the air cleaner clearance. You might have to make an adapter and mount it elsewhere.
