I am reading all the back and forth about the 261/292 thing. I noticed that Don said after 1962, a 292 would work better. I have a '49 Chevy Fleetline, the car was ratted before I bought it so staying original is already out the door. I am thinking a 292 to pick up some cubes. I'm not going drag racing but I want some snap when I feel the urge. I've located one in a Chevy van, late 60's early 70s'. will this work ok in my app? I figured headers,3-1, HEI 280 cam. What's up with a 4 angle valve job? Or will a 3 angle do? I am also thinking at least a front frame swap to get disc brakes and power steering.

I just need guidance! I have a '49 Sub too, but I'm trying not to think about that one yet.
