Re: Engine Identification

Copy down or get a good photo of the engine number that is stamped in the pad next to the distributor an I'll try to decode it.

The good thing is that most pieces interchange outside of some size specific parts.

The casting number sheets show that 8994256 is the casting number for most 292 blocks. Being one number off doesn't jive as your engine has the short side covers and the fuel pump is in front of the motor mount boss. Here is a shot of my 68 292 with the tall side covers and the fuel pump behind the right side motor mount.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
