how much tourque can a 292 put out?

Kind of a vague question. Stock? Modified? Either way a Y block can make some serious torque.

 

1959 Stock motor

P.s. i saw a Y-block with like 400hp but only like 290LBS of TQ how is that possible? Is it possible to get close to 400LBS of TQ?

 

The 57 TBird 312 was top rated at 265/336 HP/TQ. A stock 59 292 is 200/285.
I figure my warmed over and truck use built 292 at 275/335 with most of the power in the low to mid range. Even with the stock 5.14 rear it seems quite content at 65. This is a 54 F350 with 17" bias plys and stock brakes so Im satisfied at that top speed.

 

I'll be putting my 292 in a late 20's early 30's truck.
