I have seen some of the 250 vs 292 discussions and they have been informative. But I need some related advice.

I am about to replace the engine/tranny that I have now (V8) with a 250 or 292 and a 700R4 (I hope).

Somebody gave me a free 292 as a starting point. However, I have noticed that internal parts (pistons, cam, etc) seem to be easier to find for the 250 than the 292. I will be putting the engine in a sedan and am only interested in street performance, no big HP. Just a daily driver.

If I could find a free, or very cheap, 250 would that make better sense than the 292 since my budget is soooo tight?

I would appreciate your thoughts.

By the way....I'm putting the engine in a Ford. That ought to rile a few of those purists out there!

Ha!
