Re: Converting to a 292

Also the PS from my 250 should also bolt up to the 292 with no problem right? I just bought this truck out of California and it has a 3 core radiator along with the fan shroud, so I'm thinking that should handle the 292 also. What color were the 292's painted from the factory?
The 250 uses a smaller intake, but the exhaust manifolds are the same. There was a larger truck manifold available for the 292. If the P/s brackets have not been modded they should bolt up, but that I am not positive on. 292's were green, and a close if not exact color for it would be Alpine Green. Duplicolor makes it.
