Brian, Pete,
I have to agree that it is a 292. Almost everything that I've read points me to that conclusion.
I have read somewhere that some of the commercial 292's did not come with the integral head design which just adds to the confusion.
I did find two sets of numbers cast on the passenger side of the head. The one that is near the back of the motor is 1184 the one that is near the front of the motor is 1182. I'm not sure that these are the numbers that I am looking for. I think that I have to take the valve cover off.
This was a custom van in its former life so who knows how it was ordered.
The side covers are atleast 6" tall maybe more. I didn't actually measure them but they are not 4 1/4".
The part about the low deck and tall deck engines I got from a posting to another board. I found it confusing also.
Another thing that I find confusing is the F0130TUH number stamped on the pad behind the distributor. The TUH suffix states that it is an 81 250 fitted in a C-10, K-10, C-20.
I got that from 73-87.org.
"the book"? What book? I need "the book". Where do I get "the book"?
And yet another thing. Yea, I know you all are getting tired of this.
I've been looking for a reman head. Seems that there are several varities.
The main thing that I have found are:
63-66, 67-72 and 73-85. Aside from the smog stuff is there any real difference between these heads or are the all interchangable.
Thanks for all the help that have provided.
Brien
