A question for you inliners about 292's

Does a 292 have the same bellhousing pattern as an SBC? I thought I read something about that here but I can't find anything in the archives. If so, then a 4 speed GM box would fit nicely behind one.

Yeah it does, I bolted a 200R4 up to mine.

Yep. Got one for free that had an aluminum bellhousing on it. Still have the housing, ditched the motor.

 

should fit just fine, 230-250-292 the same family of motors, 216 and 235 are diffrent

some of the 292s have the same crank flange as the older SBC, others have larger 1/2" bolt holes and 3 dowels. The bellhousing is the same.

and the motor mounts on the 292 are funky, one side is offset forward from the other.

 

The reason I ask is that I have a line on an overhauled one for a fair price that a guy swapped a 327 in for, so he is cutting me a deal. I want a stick because they are fun, 'nuff said.

 

just make sure you check the flywheel - it should use the smaller one
