This is a time when I agree with efi-diy. If riconer sees his choice being between a 292 or a V8 then he is in the 4.2 zone. He says he is a EFI/turbo guy, all the better. Why not go to the modern inline 6. It is clear that he is not bogged down in old time 6 cylinder folklore.
We now have at least a half dozen 4.2s in our local chapter and those guys are active in our group. They are almost a subclub.
Marc's and other's work has helped to solve many issues that used to make these engines more difficult to use. It is getting harder to argue with the power, milage, and cost if using a 4.2. I am even giving some thought to putting one in my '68 flatbed instead of the turbo/efi 292 i've been not building for years now.
