hank, you are correct that a zero decked motor is optimum. but on a 292 with a stock type piston, the block would need so much cut off the deck it would be scary.
if i could recomend cams. go to the comp cams website. look at the inline cams. there are 3 in the high energy catagory. pick either the 1st or 2nd one. keep the lift less than .500 and duration less than 210 @ .050 .
i guess the 3rd one would good also. all are bigger than stock. keep in mind the part #'s are for a 250. for a 292 change the prefex # of 61 to a 62.
HYDRAULIC-Good performance upgrade for Hyd. Hyd. 500 to 4500 61-113-4 240H 240 248 192 200 .455 .455 108°
stock camshaft. Excellent torque and mileage.
Very smooth idle.
HYDRAULIC-Good city and highway Hyd. Hyd. 800 to 4800 61-232-4 252H 252 252 206 206 .474 .474 110°
driving, strong vacuum.Works with
stock computer. Good torque and mileage.
HYDRAULIC-Best for towing, off-road Hyd. Hyd. 1000 to 5000 61-233-4 260H 260 260 212 212 .489 .489 110°
and 4WD trucks. Noticeable idle.
Good for highway driving.
big lift cams wear valvetrain out too fast for a street engine. ie: valves, guides, rockers, springs.
