If you can get another 292 block, you can build that while you blow blue smoke rings with the truck that runs, and swap it over when finished.[/QUOTE]

I've considered that also, or maybe even a used running 292.

I spent some time in Yuma in the early 70's, many times i would drive(no a/c) Mesa to Yuma in the middle of the day in the middle of summer. i remember many times looking at my temp gauge at 160 degrees, thinking how great the engine was. Never had to stop in Dateland for water, only for a cold date shake. thats the kind of dependability i want to have with my suburban again.

When i get my comp test done, i will have a better idea of what to do. i have limited storage and a not so great working space so logistics will play apart in what i do. I have even considered moving to be in a more active truck scene.
If I were living the ideal life i want, i would have two 292 trucks, one stock and one built up.
