This engine was a collaboration between my dad and his cousin. It's a 292, bored .030 over. It's been balanced. It's got JE forged pistons that puts the compression at about 10.5:1. It has an Engle cam with 231 @ .050 duration and .565 lift. The head is a lump port head by Glen and Kevin Self with Ferrea 1.94/1.6 valves, K-Motion springs, Bill Smith pushrods, and Harland Sharp 1.75 roller rockers. The oil pan is a polished Hamburger aluminum pan, and the timing cover is a Frank pattern finned aluminum unit, and it has a custom made ATI Super Dampner and aluminum Fidenza flywheel. The intake manifold is a Clifford 4 barrel, with a 2" Super Sucker spacer and currently there is a Holley 750 carb on it that will probably get replaced with a Predator. This is going in a Diamond T pickup with a Richmond 5 speed behind it. It's estimated to make around 450hp and 500ft lbs.

Haha, this is just a little different than the Cummins 6 cylinders !

The headers are 180* for dirt track cars.

It will probably end up getting something like this built for it.



That's another 6 cylinder my dad's cousin built. It's a screamer too !!

Huge fan, saw your post on the Hamb. Very cool.

I once posted up on here about throwing a 292 in a hot rod and got flamed for it pretty bad. I think they're cool as shit.

My current I6 makes as much power as my old V8 SN95 stang woulda made after a PI H/C/I swap. I am actually still considering the TT 335i over the 8 cylinder /m3.

Summit or Jegs used to carry a phenolic spacer for the ford "small-sixes" that looked like it would help. Honestly, though, Aussie crossflow heads are the way to go. They eliminate a lot of headaches, and flow like a sumbitch. They're also not as unobtainable as people think they are.

Also, I think CJ posted a thread a while back about building two extra cylinders onto an SBC head for a 292 build, thus satisfying a need for crossflow. It was pretty badass, IIRC.
