anyone swapped in a 292 chevy

[jpsnblood]

While working on my 67 the timing had been giving me trouble. Just replaced wires . while checking timig with light. Motor sounded like a 1/2 inch nut was bouncing around inside ,engine rpm died down a lot then noise stopped and rpm came back. Well that aint good. Pulled valve covers hoping to find rocker arm off. several valves a little loose but nothing drastic. Before something really comes loose I think I need to pull engine and break it down.
Meanwhile I have a 292 straight 6 chevy available to me that runs good.
I think the bell housing bolt pattern is the same as a small block, maybe I could use a adapter for small block swap?
Has anyone done this swap. Anybody got any info that may help.

Rollie did one years ago...I believe you are right about the bellhousing and the adapter.

I remember it worked well he reported.

DanMac has a chevy 6 in one of his trucks. I do not remember what the motor mounts look like, but I know a chevy to m715 trans adaptor was used. His truck works well with this set up.

I think thats what Porkchop put in his truck. Looks and works great.

Moosejr also has one. I asked the same question, March of last year, Porkchop posted some pictures of his with the offset motor-mount plate on the passenger side, ( search, Remember the 292's). I chose to move the frame-horn instead of the plate approach, I will try to get a picture up sometime Monday. Can't report how the thing runs, I have moved embarrassingly slow on this project.

Mike is right. My "daily driver" has a 230 chev inline in it which is basicly the same block as a 292. That motor was in the truck when I got it so I don't know a whole lot about the swap. It does use the same bell housing as my other truck with the sml block and they used the stock frame towers and hogged the bolt holes a little along with some home made plates that bolt to the chev mounts. The mounts span the distance from the block to the towers and it seems to work well. I think the 292 wood be a great choice myself but the 230 I have is pretty underpowered.
