A friend of mine gave me a cast 292 crank so I could test fit it. My concerns were around finding the appropriate rod and piston that would fit, with some concern around the rod angle. A later concern is, since I'm so cam limited, to around 0.460" lift, is how well can the engine take advantage of the extra displacement without more cam?
The 292 crank on the left compared to the stock 250 crank on the right.
The 292 crank sitting in the block. It didn't hit anything, but was dang close and sure looked like some clearing for the rods would be necessary.
It will likely be a long long time before I go down the road of putting a 292 crank in, but you can be assured I looked into it =)
