I'm working on 2 projects. One being a '76 chevy nova 250 6. The other being a '58 dodge powerwagon. My Nova will be a daily ride and the pw will be a tonka toy (42 inch michelin xzl radials). I want to rebuild my novas engine with an offy 2bbl intake and a holley, but The intake and head are one piece (as i'm sure most of you know). I need an earlier head to put the offy on and I need to know if an early head will fit on a '76 block. also, regarding offy intakes, are they single or dual plane? performance isn't what i'm worried about its sound. dual plane intakes on sixes sound a lot better to me.
Now the PW project. I want to use a 292 chevy engine in it because of the torque. I want the most power and torque I can get out of it while retaining idle quality and reliabilty. What is the max overbore of the 292? what is the best carb n' intake setup for high torque at low rpm?
