want to swap my 250 to a 292 - 06/24/08 01:52 PM
Hi!
Please excuse me for my poor english, I'm Dutch...... ;-)
I drive a 1978 Chevy K5 Blazer 2WD with a 250 cid L6.
Recently I got an offer to buy a 1990(?) 292....
I already figured out that my Exhaust manifold (which is custom made, stainless steel) will fit the 292...
Am I going to have problems fitting this 292 in my K5 2wd?
(Transmission, stock ? Engine mounting brackets(?))
And is there a nice online shop where to buy some "performance" parts? Normaly I buy my parts at LMC -trucks.
But I would like to buy some "bolt on" performance parts for the 292 or if that isn't going to fit for my 250...
Can I buy complete engine rebuild kits for a 250 or 292 online?
a lot of people are trying to talk me into a v8 but almost all USA cars here in the Netherlands are equipped with V8's....
I'd like to have something special, so i stick to my L6 ;-)
And I would really like to have something very special... (a "high" performance L6)
Here you can see my project, (all dutch , sorry..) lots of pictures. http://www.blazerbees.com
