yes, and no. The engine will physicly fit in the engine compartment, but the 292 uses a completely different mounting and bell housing. It uses the side mounts like a V8, and also has the same bellhousing pattern. You'll need to fab the front mounts and use a bellhousing from a '55-'66 V8 truck. I'm certain others can give you more details for this exact swap.

What crossmember to use for this swap if I were to use an automatic instead of the stick? I've always herd of the 54 crossmember for stick shifts but could nevery find one.

here is my 292 w/ offset motor mounts and T5 cross member. a simple box 2x3'' gets bolted to the bottom of the re-inforced frame. I agree w/ rdavid

if you are using the 292 side mounted then you should remove that crossmember and install one where the rear transmission mount goes. as long as you are using a 3point mounting system no problem.
.... which is what i have done. ALL three ARE rubber mounted. wink
For the rubber mounts, I am using the stock T5 (S-10) part as well as two biscuit mounts for the 292 offset side mounts.

Buffalo Steve can fabricate the motor mounts for you if needed

Here is a pic of a 292 engine mounting crossmember from a 4x4.(1970)
The Advance Design frame "channel" height is shorter than the 67 to 72, so the crossmember will require some "trimology" to fit inside the AD rail.
