I'm finally pushing ahead with this install. I am pulling the 194 this weekend, so if I want to drive the car again, I'll have to get the 292 in there.

I'll post updates to this thread as I get things done as well as update my website:
1963 Chevy II Nova 292 Conversion

There are a few challenges to overcome to getting a 292 into an early Nova (a few have told me not to try). Here are a few threads on inliners that have helped me overcome the Chevy II specific issues as well as some others:

Oil Pan Clearance
Oil Pickup Support
Valve Cover Fitment
Hood Clearance
