Interesting point about the higher deck being a potential advantage. I have read through Landon's posts and they were very helpful. One thing that was not totally clear to me was whether or not using the standard 292 pan is also possible. Landon used a 250 pan and had to do some work to remount the oil pickup. But if I could use a standard 292 pan that comes with the motor then that would be one less thing to deal with. I presume the standard 292 pan presents even more interference issues with a stock steering setup, but I was planning on converting to a rack-and-pinion setup from Church Boys Racing, which will definitely help with a 250 pan clearance, just not sure about a 292 pan.
