They came out with it in 1965. The L25 292 came out in 1963. Enough time to buy one, take it apart, and copy it. The 300 Ford has its Carb, intake and exhaust on the Passenger side, and the distributor on the driver side. Pure ''reverse'' engineering.

Correct. The thing about the 300, it was a much more popular engine than the 292. The smaller Ford 240 was discontinued in '74, making the 300 the only straight 6 in the line up. Chevy kept both the 250 and 292, not many 292 are out there, most 1/2 tons had the 250's and 3/4 tons usually came with V8's.
