by Guest Mon Dec 01, 2008 4:39 amI am considering putting a 292 in my early. It's my understanding that the right mount is different on a 292. Any suggestions? Are there any other issues I should look for?

One of the mods is that the fuel pump is where the motor mount is on most 6 cyl. So you need to make plate to mount MM to where stock 292 MM is(on the front)??Seems like somebody said there taller to, so you have to mod the lid on the doghouse?? Wideloads got one in his 67

No mod's to the doghouse are necessary(not sure about this if your running a stock aircleaner,I'm running one of the small 1 barrel air cleaners). I didn't put the motor in mine, but all they did was take a piece of 1/4" plate, bolt it to the crossmember where the orginal motor mount bolts up and extend forward far enough for the motor mount on the 292 to bolt to it. On the 292 the fuel pump and the right motor mount are switched as compared to the other L6's. The other visible difference is the lifter covers on the side of the block. The 292 ones are about 6" tall and the others are about 4" tall. The 292 has a longer stroke.

Thank you savage and wideload for the info. As it looks right now I think I am going to take the 6 out of my 68 and put a V8 in it and the 6 in the 66. (I was going to anyway) The 292 I thought would have more torque and the one I found is at the rear of the JY and it's rained a good bit...it will be spring before they will be able to get back to it. I want to be driving my van way before then. The plus side is I'll have more money for other things. Brian
