292 rods can be fit to a 235 or 261 crank to increase (or decrease) the stroke slightly by eccentric regrinding to the smaller 292 journal size (2.100" vs. 2.311"), but it's a lot of expensive and delicate work.
The distributor can be slightly modified to fit, the carburetor is a bit bigger, nothing else. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 65 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 65 | in reading other topics it seems a 261 is a better candidate than the 235 for stroking with a 292 donor.

The two engines are similar only in the fact that they are made by GM. everything from bore spacing to number of bearing journals, etc. are different. If you have a 292, use the 292.
