Hey, I just got a fresh 292 and I was wondering if I could put a 250 head on it for more power and how much more power and compression would I have??????

PLZ REPLY BACK!

THANKS><
MATT!

There is no significant difference between the 250 and 292 heads. Swapping one for the other will gain you nothing but the experience of changing it, scraping gaskets, and a lightened wallet. You can only gain compression by milling the head (VERY little gain) or by changing the pistons to a set that has less dish in the top, preferrably flat-tops so you don't get too much increase and risk pinging and detonation (bad!)
