I have a couple questions about the 250 vs. the 292. Obviously the 292 will most likely have more power in stock form, but what are the revving characteristics of the two? I am building a rock crawling buggy and had planned to use a 250, but a 292 has possibly fallen into my lap for cheap and I am thinking about using the 292.

What are the stock power ratings for these motors? The 292 is from a 1970 C-10. Does either motor opperate better in the mid & high RPM ranges? My gearing will be really low in this buggy and I will be spinning 3000-4000RPM at cruising speed on fireroads, and maybe a little higher on things like sand hills and stuff. Is either motor better then the other at handling higher RPM for sustained periods?

I know both motors opperate well in the lowend and produce good torque off idle which is why I want an I-6 for my crawler. Most of the time I will be in need of good lowend. Thanks
