You might sriously consider keeping the 292.

They run forever, and are cheap to rebuild.
The amount of torque you get at low RPM is matched only by a big block.

And, you are not like everyone else.

Problems are low RPM make it a low speed car.
I top out around 55 MPH, but hey, it was never built to go fast was it?
