292 swaps?
Curious how many have swapped a 292 into their 55-59, as it's just interesting enough to be an option lol (mostly a V8 guy). Searched this sub-forum and didn't see a whole lot on swaps let alone TFs. Issues you ran into? Would you do it again? Thank you for reading

Re: 292 swaps?
It might be easier than it is in an AD. The only real issue on the AD swap is engine length. The end of the water pump shaft wants to be real close to the radiator.
The 292 is right at 30-1/2 inches from the flange for the bellhousing to the the fan.
