I'm surprised the T-5 lasted behind the torque of a 292. Must have been driven with a soft touch all those years.

I would have liked to, but the 292 I had my eye on was snatched the day before I went to go buy it. As fate would have it, that's why my '52 has a 350 in it today instead of a 292.

I am putting a 292 in my 53. I have not had a chance to hear it run yet as I have the body off for rust repair, but the motor and chassis work is done.

Here is a pic:

I am still looking for some power steering brackets for it.

49,
Looks like you've got one of the early, stream-lined exhaust manifolds with the 2 1/2" outlet. Those are a little hard to
come by.
