New to me 1965' "292" from Air Force Bus - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just found a 1965, 292 I6 engine from an Air Force flat nosed 22' bus used at "Area 51". Bus showed 38K miles. Air Force used it as an ambulance. I have not had any time to assess the engines condition. It is a little damaged from shipping, carb and dist. Broken. It has a four speed trans w/ hyd clutch. At the back of the trans is an emergency brake as part of the drive shaft.

Initial assessment would indicate that some of the coolant hoses have factory style hose clamps that have not been reused. Color is green w/ torque decal on valve cover. Valve cover is pretty beat up.

More w/ pics coming.
