292 and a T5 in a 54 chevy, anyone done it?

Now I know thats a dumb question, of course its been done. Anyone on the board show me some pictures of their frame mounts or tell me what they used? Thanks in advance

 

Yea I'm interested too.... thinking about a 250 with a T5! Subscribed!!!

 

I've considered a 292 in place of the 406 that's gettin a little tired. Wondering if a 700r4 would work since that's what I already have and physical limits make driving a stick difficult.

 

Check out AD Chevy website.

 

one thing to consider is the 194,230,250 all share the same engine mounts BUT the 292 has the engine mount on passenger side about 4" foward of these other engines and block is taller. great engine and 700r4 will bolt up just like sbc.

 

I guess I should mention that its going in a 54 210 2 door, not in a AD truck. The truck is an easy swap.

 

I got a 250 mated to a t5. Want if a supercharge 6bt would fit....

 

Look at this. 292, highly modified head with the lump technology used, 11 inch clutch and a T-5. runs strong and I'm not afraid to push it either. Strong engine and transmission.

Did a 250 in a 50 Chevy Sedan. Easy install. Chassis engineering has the mounts. Part#CP-1108. Listed under 41-48 Chevy car (don't know why) Due to the motor being longer than the 235 I had to mount a electric fan in front of the radiator. You could move the radiator forward if you like. Todd

 

Why is it when people talk about 49-54 chevys others assume truck? Just curious.

 

So are you saying that the mounts are staggered?

 

Thats a great question, just got the same treatment at the parts house while getting a master cylinder kit. They have managed to send a truck kit 3 times before getting it right.

 

I'm currently building a 52 with a 250 and a T-50 Trans I got a little cleanup to do and ill post pics of the engine mounts which I fabbed.

i did a 52 chevy hardtop with a 250 and a automatic trans, i used the mounts fron chassie engineering the drivers side is off set to clear the steering, a 49 suburban with a 292 and a t 5 rolls great on the freeway, a 54 chevy truck with a 250 and a 350 trans, a 52 chevy truck with a 250 and a t-5, and next i going to do a 54 chevy truck with a 250 and a t-5, i have a 54 chevy hardtop for my wife it will have a 250 and 700r trans i no longer buy the mounts i make them for myself check out my website the 52 hardtop is posted NO 235s FOR ME

 

Very nice work cut master, I think I will go with the chassis engineering mounts and the hot rod works tranny xmember. Thanks for all the info, I will post my progress once the ups man delivers all my boxes from Gambino's, HRW, and Chassis eng.

 

i put a 292 in my 54 belair got the engine mounts from lagdons stovebolt

 

Well I got the suggested chassis engineering kit and its not going to just bolt right in. The frame mounts dont clear the steering. I'm going to do some changing and see if I can make them work. I will keep this updated with what I decide to do. I decided to go with a 250 and a T5, so it shouldnt be to tough.

 

You can make a plate 1/4 or 5/16 thick to go behind the mount to move it where you need it. I had the same problem on a '39 Chevy.

 

Off set the drivers side check my website

 

i dont know about the 292...since its a taller deck height..other things might be different....but i still think it it will work.
but i plan on do the a camaro t5 on a 250..heres a great tech

I got the offset mount, the frame mount wont clear the steering. I am going to mod the mounts a bit to make them clear. I will post pics up when I do it.

 

Can't wait for this!! I have the same combo (250 to T5) going in my 54 chevy 210. My engine is at the machine shop, so you are ahead of me In progress. Can wait to see how yours turns out!!

 

I'm following your build as well, check out my build thread titled "my 54 chevy build begins"

Heres some pics of how I solved the steering clearance problem. The break down goes like this, cut apart as close to the bracket as I could, grind smooth, remove braces, grind smooth, tack in place level with bracket and eyeball it for center, weld-r-up, fit to frame and grind to fit properly, prime and paint.

 

Normbc9, I know this is a very old thread but was wanting to ask how well do you like the triple side draft webers? I have a chance to buy a set for my 292 but am concerned about keeping them sychronized and in tune. I had heard that they are can be very stable once set up properly but Im not sure if I could do it myself. If you could give me any input on their temperment and performance I would appreciate it. Thanks, Dongray

 

I know this is an old thread but the topic is exactly what I was searching. I have a 1950 chevy 3100, a 292 and an S-10 T5. The question is what is the best method to mate the two together? The 292 clutch plates are 11 inches dia. with 10 splines but the input shaft on the t5 is 14 splines. From everything I have read it appears that you could swap to a Jeep input shaft with 10 splines or use a clutch plate with 14 splines. There is a great website on how to switch out the input shaft, https://lugnutz65chevystepside.weebly.com/t5-info-page.html but it is a fair amount of work if one could simply switch out the clutch plate. Can someone tell me if I am missing something about the clutch plate switch and making it to simple? The clutch plate that supposedly would accomplish the task is 10.5 inch dia. and I dont know if that is an issue or not. link https://www.summitracing.com/tx/parts/add-716104/overview/

Thank you,
