Where are the id numbers for a 292? This engine is pretty greasy, but I am guessing 292 because of the offset motor mounts. It does have a similar looking intake and exhaust to my 235's and 216's. The engine is complete except for the carb and starter. No idea what condition it is in, but the price is right. Wahoooo!!!!!
I gave a neighbor one of my spare doors for his 49 and in turn he gave me a 250 that was running and complete. I have yet to pick it up, because it is stored in his barn and I dont have room for it in mine. Are the motor mounts offset on the 250's? Thanks in advance for your help. | | |

It should also have a bellhousing bolt pattern the same as a smallblock V-8. The harmonic balancer will be heavier than the other 6-cylinders of similar vintage, plus it's a little longer. Good engine, and the price was right, too!

Do you think a 5 yard Volvo will lift it  I will run it by the car wash and knock off some of the crud and see just what I have. It was running when pulled (Ive heard that before) but I expect to do an overhaul at some point. It will probably just sit around for a while until I can get a couple of my truck projects going.
