I'm real partial to 292s, and would opt for the larger engine if given the choice. Just make sure you swap all the 292 stuff along with it. The motor mount on the 292 is unique to that size engine. The Passenger side mount is forward of the fuel pump -- opposite to the 230/250 set -up. The 292 uses a different water pump, side covers, oil pan, harmonic balancer and motormounts than the smaller L6s. Most of the other stuff is the same
