I am trying to figure out which 6-CYL I have in my '47 ('46 Style) Big Bolt (1.5 Ton).
I am told that it is a 292 C.I. Inline 6. Could this be accurate?

could be, but it wouldn't be original .... you need to get all the numbers off it you can find and post them up to ID it, pictures would help too

Is the motor installed with motor mounts on the side? 292's had side mounts and they are not straight across from each other, they are offset. This should help identify it as a 292.

Your original motor would have two studs coming through the valve cover holding it in place. Side cover would be a large tin piece that extends all the way from valve cover (around the plugs) and down behind distrib. The 292 is a much later motor has two 6" tall side covers distrib is not centered along the block but way foreward.
