Peak torque is directly proportional to cubic inches. Without the benefit of specs, I would say a stock 292 makes maybe 270-290, whereas a stock 350 makes prox 330-350. Now, at low rpm, like around 2000, they may be very close, because the 292 may make peak torque at 2500 rpm, the 350 at 3500 rpm. I may run this on Desktop Dyno just for grins. I also have a 1969 Motors repair manual somewhere that lists the factory specs.
