The deck heights are quite different between the smaller 194, 215, 230, 250 engines and the 292 to allow for the longer stroke and connecting rods, about 1-3/4".
The air cleaner can be worked around. A "hat" similar in construction to those used on blow-through carburetors is much lower than the conventional air cleaner and allows mounting a large AC remotely with a duct.
Your next thought will be "can I use the 292 crank in the 250 motor?" Possible, not a good idea, Google it.
Deck height + rod length is why Chrysler tilted the Slant 6 (225 is 4.125" stroke, 6.69" rod) to the right 30°. Mercedes did the same thing with the 300SL engine 60 years ago.
