I recently bought a 292 for my 1950 3100 and was wondering if anyone knows of a good "how to" link for installing.
Im really interested in how some folk can squeeze the 292 in and still maintain the stock fan were others have to drop the fan for an electric in front of the radiator because it just wont fit. Also any information on whether to use side mounts or a front mount install like an older 235. I know the engine is designed with side mounts but I have seen where people made a front mount that uses the standard 235 mounting holes up front. I would think an engine with this much torque wouldnt be a good candidate for a front mount.
Anyways if anyone knows of a detailed build for a 292 installation I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dongray
