Thanks for responding tom. I think you are saying that i should use the 250 oil pump pickup tube, stand and screen but to double check the clearances with respect to the 292 rods. I will absolutely do that. I just finished installing a set of your lumps in my head and am sending it our for final machine work. I want to change out the 235 in my 57 that i have run for years and put in a 292. I have been told that the deeper sump on the 292 pan is a problem when performing this swap which is what prompted the question. I had looked at a 235 pan and realized the advice was correct as there is very little extra room. I am getting ready to dig out a 292 block and a spare 250 pan and start building the bottom end.
