I love it!! You don't expect that from many 22 year olds do you. I'm into the old moonshine runners and original stock car racing it evolved into and thats a engine setup you were likely to see
No a GMC 302 has nothing in common with a 292. It is very similar to a Stovebolt, looks the same, sounds the same but is bigger in most every sense and shares very few parts with the Chev. A 292 is newer and same family as the 230 and 250. these engines also have the V8 bellhousing bolt pattern.
Hi,you just gave the answer I was looking for ,I have a 250 ci engine and I would like to fit a 6 speed transmission of a camaro 93-98 so do I need to adapt the bellhousing or is just fit into into it ? thanks for it
Sorry i just saw this! You should be able to use bellhousing, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate out of camaro and should be a bolton to a 230 and 250. The 292 however has some differences in the flywheel, one thing I think it has larger bolts. This engine was only used in trucks so it is a little heavier in some respects. So you could get into some difficulty is using 292. Someone more familiar with them could steer you to the right parts necessary. Good luck.
@lcurtizz Thats what everyone does.. put a 350 on it. all hot rods are the same these days. Ill admit im building a small block for mine, but at least its a 283 with period correct accesories.
what i dont get is why are they so smooth running my friends 73 chevy pick up has one its a 250 i think when u start it u cant even tell its running at least u couldn't until it got a exhaust leak
.This is why V8s like the SBC have a seemingly random firing order.With an inline, since all the cyls fire up and down, there is no side to side motion.And for some reason I can't remember,6 is smoother than 4 for the same reasons.
something like in a 4 the 2 pistons accelerate faster going down then the other two accelerate going up, creating somewhat of an unfixable vibration. cant remember exactly what it said but i read something like that yesterday.
@DRNEGOLICIS the straight sixes have 7 mains and a v8 has 4 mains...now im not saying thats why but straight sixes are the most smooth reliable and strongest motors they are balanced better then any motor because of how long they are...unless of coarse your a buick guy then the straight 8 dominates all haha
@DirtridinElCamino yeah i know they are verry well balanced the best ballanced engines are straight 6's and the GM V12 they dont torq over when you rev them like most engines do you can rev the shit out of them and they dont move one bit
inline (not vee) sixes are naturally balanced. thats why they have the glass smooth idle and very little vibration. The reason the manufacturers switched to the V6 is just for packaging reasons.
wow that thing runs smooth as silk, I didn't even realize it was running until you reached in to rev it up! I'm doing up a 216 for my 46 GMC...I'd love to put dual carbs and headers like yours but I don't know if babbit bearings will take the gaff! Are those fenton headers?
No babbit in the later (post '53) 235 and 261 Chevy blocks. These use insert bearings. The main difference is the number of mains. GMC has more and is therefore stronger. No question that the 292 and other Gen. 3 inline sixes are better performers than the Gen. 2 having 235 or 261 CID. However, the late engines are an ugly SOB in a vintage car! The valve covers make it look like it came from a Toyota!
I got the same thing in my 53 rod. Where'd you get that 2 carb set up?

a six inline is naturally balanced. that is why they run so smoothly.

The main problem is only having 4 cylinders I reckon! half a motor can never be good haha

I'd much rather see this in a rod than a generic small block

@Pacerace100 How does that work on one crank??? Not possible unless you break something or use elastic conrods.

@fordv8man yeah it doesn't really make sense, but apparently happens due to some type of physics that go on.

@DRNEGOLICIS Inlines are smooth because they are INLINE. The V8's are offset so it lopes.

Babbit --will not take it -- build a GMC-
292 six - out of 1-ton --did my 49 this way
10 years ago --still ticking --See this article-- in previous Magazine called
HOT ROD DELUXE ---They did a old
School six Build up a few issues

No, the GMC has the same size and number of mains as the chevy. Same crank pin diameter, too.
