Re: Converting to a 292

Just happened to run across this old post from a few years back. Being in my late 70's, I'm not as fast as I used to be, but wanted to not only thank everyone for all the advise, but give an update as to how things are going.
I will try to post a few pictures also. The truck has been painted, so that slowed things up a little, but as it sits, the 292 has been rebuilt along with the 200-4R and installed. Vintage air is also being installed, along with a new radiator. I have had a rough time with a few things, but the flywheel and starter from the 250 bolted right up, found the correct right frame bracket, found the correct PS setup. All this has been installed by changing pulleys and adding a single pulley on the 2 grove harmonic balancer. I took it off from a 350 engine and it bolted right up to the 292 harmonic balancer. I'm currently running a new fuel line from rear tank to carb. I used the intake & exhaust from the 250 as the carb was ready rebuilt. My next step is to install core support, radiator and trans lines so I can add tranny fluid before I start engine. Just an update for a few guys trying to do the same type of swap, hope this helps someone.
