Let me start by admitting that I do not know the first thing about a marine cam for the 292 or what the specs are.

BUTT: I have dyno tested many camshafts on Brand F V8 engines and found the cam made for marine use to be lacking sufficient low end performance and part throttle pulling ability to be useful on a car. Too much overlap and too late of an intake closing event.

Marine engines generally are tuned to run best at higher speeds and higher loads than what car engines usually run. So a low end lugger will not want a marine type cam.

Again, my comments are a generalization, not specifically pertainent to a 292 with a 292 marine cam. Just food for thought.
