Engine Info
I have a 1964 Ford F250 with a 292 in it. I'm trying to find all the details about this engine. Some things like Bore and Stroke is easy to find. But what I can't seem to find is what is the factory valve sizes and from the factory how many cc's did the combustion chamber have. Also what what was the factory cam duration,lift,and lobe separation.

You'll have to dig, the Shop manual has (some?) of that information. Remember by 1964 the 292 for Trucks had been detuned considerably compared with a few years earlier in terms of compression and other things like exhaust valve size. Not sure about cam grinds, that's way above my pay grade. You might try the Y-blocksforever forums, there are more fanatics over there too. Keep in mind as well, after 50+ years your engine may have been swapped with something a little different even though still in the Y block series.

John Mummert is one of the go-to guys in the Y Block performance world. There is a LOT of info on his website:
FORD Y
And if you're specifically focused on the valvetrain, there's detail here:
HOME
The stock camshaft, according to John Mummert's charts, is a 246. We were balancing and blueprinting the engine in our '61 and wanted a touch more power without sacrificing a smooth idle and a more-or-less stock feel. So John supplied us with a 265 cam, with which I am very happy. I freely admit, though, it's impossible for me to say how much of the overhauled engine's newly-found "grunt" is due simply to a good overhaul and how much is due to the hotter cam!
Clay Smith Engineering grinds the cams that Mummert sells and you receive a spec card with your new cam. Below is the spec card for my truck's new cam.
Welcome to the forum. LOTS of good info here!
