Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 292 Into '69 C/10 ~ RH Mount ?

Hi all ;

Long time no talk .

I have a 1969 C/10 Shortbed W/ 250 L6 and a TH350 , I just bought a 292 to up grade it , I *think* this is a mid 1960's (1966?) vintage engine because it has the pre smog cylinder head and early Delcotron alternator .

Anyways , I only got the engine side motor mounts with it , now what ? .

I've been trying to search for older posts but only three pages show and nothing about motor mounts .

Any tips or where to look will be greatly appreciated .

TIA ,

Nate,
You may be in luck.
The 250 mounts are different for the DS and PS. The DS mount from 250 is the same as 292 DS mount.
The 292 uses the same mount on both PS and DS of engine. Only difference is the PS mount gets 2 short pipe spacers to fill the void between block and mount. Cut those with a hacksaw or better yet a SAWZALL. (don't tell T6 you used a SAWZALL).

I would buy your extra mounts. Tom

I too faced the problem of coming up with mounts for a 292 in a '69 pickup. This was in a conversion from a V-8. I hunted around in junkyards and finally found some 250 engine side mounts, but never had any luck finding the passenger side frame side mount.

In the end, I found it easier to simply fabricate some mounts.

Thanx Tom but I don't think that's right .

Do you need some spare brackets ? L or R side ? .

Frame to Biscuit or biscuit to engine ? .

TIA ,

(why didn't I get any notification of this reply ?)

Thank you Doug ;

It appears your frame as the holes already drilled ? . mine doesn't appear to .

I don't weld so I need to know wher to go buy this part .

TIA ,

I am talking about the engine to rubber mount brackets. You must be referring to the frame rubber mount bracket.

Yes , I am missing the frame to mount brackets , thanx .

I disagree. The R/S perch for the 292 (frame to biscuit) is completely different than the perch for a 250.



I am going through this very thing right now. That's why the 292 perch is sandblasted and ready for paint. You can see the difference in these pictures.

Now, I have heard that the perch for the 292 is very similar to the small block perch, but I have not compared the two side-by-side. I searched long and hard for an actual 292 perch, and paid through the nose for it, but anything for my baby ('68 Chevy Panel) BTW, I ended up with an extra set of those little pipe-looking spacers in case your interested. BTW P.S., those little spacers ain't the same length. One is a big 1/8th longer than the other, (I have 3 sets, and they are all like this). Only problem is, I don't know which is which. I hope it's obvious when I put it back together.

YES BUT UNLESS YOUR A PERFECTIONIST IT CAN BE MADE TO WORK WITH LITTLE TROUBLE.

Yeah-the answer to that is clear in the pictures, too. I even went to the trouble and expense to have those copper-plated nuts re plated.LOL I can't imagine why they were plated originally, but they were and so are again.

Thanks for your pictures. They are a great help.
