Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 292 in camaro subframe

has anyone put a 292 in a camaro subframe? I have a 1950 chevy wagon that I have aquired a 1977 subframe for and was given a 1981 292 with 60,000 mi on it. I need help getting all this together.

When I put the 292 in my 64 Chevelle I just couldn't see how I'd find a place for a conventional motor mount on the right side.
(a lot of air between engine and frame)
I ended up making an aluminum plate that attaches to the 292's motor mount and fuel pump mounting holes. I then used a regular Chevelle 6 cyl motor mounts on both sides.
The holes at the fuel pump mount had to be countersunk to allow the engine side bracket to fit and I used flat head allen bolts.
Of course you have to use an electric pump.
Sorry no pictures but it wasn't that hard.
Does require some precision in drilling the holes.

At least with a '50 Chevy station wagon chassis you ought to have enough head room for the 1-3/4" taller 292.
