shop manual
I just purchaced a 1953 F250 with a swaped in engine. The block id is ECG which was listrd at a machine shop as being a 292 from '55 to '66. I borowed a '56 Ford Truck Shop Manual. At the begining of the V8 section it lists block id and CID's, no 292. I assume there is only a bore and stroke difference with the 272 that is part of that manual. But since I have to return the borowed manual, I would to get a manual that includes the 292. So, what year manual do I get?

I can't help with what manual to get, but I did a search and found a couple of web sites that had some info on the motor.
Ford 292 V8 Engine Specs, Firing Order and Information : Engine Facts.com
1956 Ford 292 V8 Engine Specs
It lists Bore and Stroke: 3.75" x 3.300"
I'm sure someone will come along that knows their stuff.

'57 Ford Truck Shop Manual
My manual only lists a 272 and a 302. Ford Y-block engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I don't usually trust wikipedia, but it is a good starting point for information.
292

The 292 in³ (4.8 L) was also introduced in 1955. It was used in the Ford Thunderbird, Mercury, and some high-end Ford cars. In 1956, it was an optional engine for Ford cars, was commonly used in high-end models, and called the "Thunderbird V8" (the optional larger 312 in³ engine was called the "Thunderbird Special V8"). The 292 in³ was also used in Ford trucks, namely the F-100, through 1964. The 292 forged steel crankshaft was popular with motor enthusiasts in stroking the 289 V8's. With some machine work, this part was used to upstroke the 289 V8's to 340 in³ in combination with custom-made pistons and a .040 inch overbore (4.040 in. x 3.3 in.).
Ford Australia released this V8 motor as its only option in the 4-door Customline sedan from 1955-1959 (based on the Crown Victoria), and its utility, based on the same styling as the Customline, called a Mainline.
This particular version of the Y-Block engine was used in Argentina in the F-100 pick-up well into the sixties, and was known as Fase I (Phase I). In 1971, the engine was modified to accept a new-style cylinder head with a different valve arrangement (E-I-E-I-E-I-E-I versus E-I-I-E-E-I-I-E), new intake and exhaust manifolds and was renamed Fase II (Phase II). In this form, the 292 Fase II continued into the eighties in the F-100, and was also used in the Argentine Ford Fairlane (built from 1969-1982, and based heavily on the U.S. 1968 model). All Argentine versions of this engine feature a cast crankshaft rather than the forged example that equipped US heavy duty engines. The 292 version was also produced by Ford of Brazil and equipped the Brazilian LTD starting in 1969. Both the 272 and 292 engines were replaced on Brazilian cars by the 302 engine starting on 1976 model year.

I can't believe there is any significant difference between a 272 and a 292, in terms of working on the engine. If Ford had a special section for every size of Y-block (239-256-272-292-312) and FE (332-352-360-361--390-406-410-427) there wouldn't be any trees left!
