Chevy 292 Power Numbers - 11/14/14 01:42 AM
Just got the call from my engine builder in Oceanside CA. Monte from Machine Tech Racing Engines. I can't say enough good about this guy. He went way above and beyond in building my engine. I wanted a completely streetable, reliable engine with some flair and of course as much power as possible within these constraints. This is in response to another post from another site....
Hey Bama fan. I have a 292 being built by an engine builder right now. I am running dual 38 webers, shorty headers. The head has had extensive work done and is being pulled for more work. It has a mild cam, can't remember specs, but will post when I get build sheet. Initial compression was a tick below 9. Has roller rockers and HEI ignition. Numbers so far...270 hp and 280 tq . Builder wasn't happy with numbers, so is milling head for near 10 compression and reworking head. Extra work being done at no cost! Headers would not seal and were checked on 2 different heads. They had to be welded and machined to fit properly. I will post more info as it becomes available.
