The 292 crate motor can probably be obtained from your local Chevrolet dealer although it will likely cost a little more. When you add shipping and the fact that the local dealer will take care of any warranty work including labor it might come out to be a better deal in the long run. You can sometimes get a better deal if you ask the local dealer if they can match the price that the mailorder dealer advertises. Several years ago I needed a 350 engine and I called my local dealer and asked how close their price was compared to one of the mailorder prices and they sold me an engine for about what the engine and shipping would be--plus I got it that day and didn't have to arrange to have a forklift at my shop to unload it when it arrived.
The 292 is listed as weighing 422 pounds but I am not sure if that is shipping weight or bare engine weight and a 350 is generally around 450 pounds.
