Well I was lucky, I bought a truck in 1973, and it had a factory 292. Still have it. Ran it to work today.
I have one runner, rebuilt in 2005 and 2 more cores. One was a kick-out from somebody else's ''barnfind'' and the other I bought in a junkyard in Yuma in 1977, and rebuilt, and ran for 25 years. Many years ago a parts guy at my local Chevy dealers told me that the '' 292 was Chevy's best-kept secret''.
You gotta keep looking, but 50 years after the fact, they are admittedly getting rare.
UPS vans, dump trucks, school buses, K/20s, C/30s seemed to be powered with 292s.
