I know nothing about these motors except that I read they were built for the trucks and had a taller deck... So please chime in as to weather its worth working on or switch to a SBC. I dig the looks of the inliner, but is it going to be trouble. Wanting to build a driver.... thanks Also how do I ID the trans?

We lust for what we want, and weep for what we need.

If you want inline I'd think it'd do the job. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,420 Former Workshop Owner | | Former Workshop Owner Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 2,420 | Very good engines, I have one in my '59 Big Bolt that I've owned for six years. They have great torque, I have hauled several loads of rock over four tons, and many loads over three tons. It's also very dependable, I can let it sit 5 or 6 months and it'll fire right up. Go to Inliners (Inliners.org) and you will find out that they can also produce a lot of horsepower as well, and are very desirable. When it comes to parts, stock and high performance parts are plentiful. When I no longer need my '59 Big Bolt, the 292 is staying with me. John

They are almost indestructable. The only big problem we had was exhaust manifolds. The exhaust runs hot on them when they are working hard. They warp & crack. Most parts from the 250 work on them.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
