Anyone what at 1952 292 engine??

Guy down the street has one for sale he bought years ago to put in a 54 car. He said the conversion was to much work so he go a 235. It came out of a 52 school bus, still turns over with a wrench and has been stored inside so it isn't rusted up. He want $200 for it and it looked like he had the bellhousing and flywheel in another pile.

Email me at reddogeb@yahoo.com if you want more info.

Guys built them up to race back in the 50's but they are big and heavy.

I've been thinking on something like that for the early race car style roadster I am collecting pieces for but it would cost more for gas to go get it then the engine cost at he moment.

My thoughts too. There was guy in the late 60's in Eugene that had one bored, stroked and injected in a rail that would run with SBC's. Biggest advantage is the cross flow head and more main bearings.
