Inliners International Forums General Discussion Hi Performance 292 Chevy advice

Notes:
1) I am not a professional engine builder, or even much of an amateur.

2) I am from the midwest (dirt track country) and I tend to prefer more cam and more rpm than others. Taking that into consideration, I went down a size on everything for you.

3) I have ran a slightly wilder grind in a blown 355 SBC cross-country with no issues. I checked the lash about every oil change and it almost never needed adjustment. In a 292 it will be even tamer. For non-daily drivers, I like roller cams.

I would run a 600-650 double pumper on this setup with manifold referenced power valve. I would also use a mechanical advance only in the dist but that's just me. A high voltage coil and some sort of spark box (msd 6 or equivalent). 1 3/4" x 36" headers if available, or just the biggest diam. long tubes you can find otherwise. 2.5" dual exhaust with ultra-flow mufflers.

I'm a big fan of total seal rings for forced induction applications. Also, this cam/engine combo will require some converter and some gear.
