This one looks like someone bought a ''barn find'' truck from a farmer -- was ignorant about the value of a 292 L6 -- and ditched it in favor of an SBC in-a-crate. I have not opened the head to look at the cylinders, but the condition of the factory paint leads me to think it got limited use.

I actually had it given to me as I was looking for a 292. My wife's family gave me a inline 6 which turned out to be a 292, guess which one I had to keep?
I still have the 292, and a 250, and the valve cover......
And to put credibility here, you picked it up near Campbell/Grant in Tucson in your Blazer.
