No better time than now to work on it. I learned to drive in a 46 my grandfather used on the farm. Later I had a 46 but had to sell it back in 87 when my plant closed.
They're nice trucks. We love pics so post some when you can. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Hey Burl, welcome. I love the styling of the 46's. What kind of shape is it in? Good luck!

| | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 66 | Hey Burl, I was just wondering if being you are going to be running a sbc in your truck if the original motor is already gone or if its laying in the back of the shed... I have no idea what engine that would even be so this is kind of a long shot but parts are hard to find around here. I'm looking for a smaller head to put on my 292. If you happen to have a 194 head around or know where I could get one locally (and affordably) I would really appreciate it. Good luck with the truck, sounds like its going to be a real beast when you are done!

the only head that would have smaller chambers and fit the 292 is the 194, it also has smaller ports. your best bet is a simple lump-port conversion and a cam change.
