Question 292 L6 performance

Anyone out there that has done performance to a 67 292 L6? Just wondering what I can do to it.

Re: 292 L6 performance

done right the only thing the 292 won't pass is a gas station. Get Santucci's (Cheverolet Inline 6 Power Manual) book and grab a beer!

Re: 292 L6 performance

Hot rodding an inline ain't cheap either. Cool as all get out... but you'll have to lay down some duckets.

It's why most cats yard the inline out and put an SBC in it's place.

Ask him how much he has into it. That looks like a Vertex Mag on it...

That's not mine, its a motor you can get from Sissel Automotive out in CA. Probably around 15K if I had to guess.
I still don't think he has as much in that motor as this dude has in his 250.
