It's a 292 block and head. Just had a brain fart and thought the head was taller than a 250 and the blocks were the same. Had it backwards.

I couldn't help myself, I had to get some shots of it outside on the new wheels the other day. It's so much better than before! The center caps will look awesome on it too!

That's cool! Truck looks Sweet! Yeah the 292 has a taller block than the rest. A 194-230-250 head will fit on a 292. Common to put a 194 head on a 292 as the combustion chamber is smaller which means more compression.

Thanks! It's been a fun learning experience so far! I'm excited to drop the new motor and trans in it along with the brake parts and new springs. It's going to be an awesome little driver when I'm done with it
