292s are pretty much bombproof. They operate well in the heat [and I live in Tucson] -- better than V8s.
Sounds like a good deal just for the price of the sheetmetal (oil pan, lifter panels, valve cover, etc) alone. Throw in a core block and a 4-speed and it's a sweet deal.
Funny, I PM'd a kid ("67SUB") on _67/72Chevytrucks.com_ in Hurst TX, asking what he wanted for his 292 engine mount set-up last night. No reply. If that stuff is only $100 bucks it would almost be worth the run from Tucson. Just kidding, a 1400 mile road trip would be more fun than feasible.
