The OHC engine was a 230, not a 292. It was somwewhat similar to the Chevy 194/230, but I don't think very many parts would interchange. The cam was belt-driven like a lot of the later OHC engines.

Hey, I have one of those OHC engines. I believe most were 250's. I haven't run the #'s on mine. I have the 2brl version. The Sprint option got you the 4brl & better cam. I accumulated all the parts thinking I would put in a truck, but haven't yet. I can give you more info & pics if needed.

In '68 and '69 a 250 version was produced.Prior to that they were all 230's.

I have one of the 250 engines if you are looking for one Mr Wilcox. Ialso bought mine for a future project but it hasn't found it's way to the front burner yet.

my brother had the 292 overhead cam engine but alas it also developed holes the the block due to piston leaving cylinder at 90+mph so we are definatly interested in a 292 ohc engine

It is not a 292. It was either a 230 (66-67') or a 250 cid (68-69') and Pontiac never built a 292 engine, that was Chevrolet only and it was an OHV not an OHC.
