For what you are going to use your 292 for, the year doesn't matter a lot. You do want one that has the separate intake and exhaust manifolds. You also want one that has the power steering (PS) brackets on it, or while youring looking find the PS brackets for a 292 WITH OUT the intergral head. Your HEI distributor will work in the 292. Speaking of emissions your distributor may have the maximum advance limited by 4 degrees for emissions if it is the same distributor used in the USA. Does your 250 have a two barrel or a one barrel carburator on it?

Since the 292 was made into the 80s any parts house here the USA can get a rebuild kit for the 292. I would think the same would be true for a good parts house in the Netherlands. What might not be easy to get are the LP gas pistons Bob308 mentioned. The LP gas pistons will get you 9.0 versus 8.0 compression for the standard high(?) compression 292 pistons. Federal Mogul makes the LP gas pistons part number 980P-xx, xx being what ever your overbore is, they are not cheap. Performance parts,,, I thought this was a work truck. \:D What did you have in mind. \:\)
