The 292 is a great motor with lots of torque. They are a much longer stroke than the 250. If you look at the side, the lifter cover pan is considerably taller than the 250, so that is a good way to tell them apart. Nice and simple to work on too. You can get a later model and have HEI ignition. They made them up to 84 or so. Power steering brackets should be available. My 82 pickup had powersteering.
I had one in an 82 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with a 4 speed granny-gear trans (forgot which model) and it was unstoppable as far as pulling. Again, loads of torque. If I remember correctly, they also put that engine in some 2.5 ton dump trucks too. They are nearly indestructible unless you just abuse them to death.
