Thanks Boo, I know either motor will work. Its just the 292 in the one truck runs so much smoother than the 250 & have been told that the 250's always run rough & run hotter. that the 292 is a better motor that will last longer & runs cooler by design. Since I'm only keeping the short bed I may as well make the best it can be , with what I've got

I don't want no stinking V8, because every one tells me to get one !!!!
