292 update
After checking the bank account, I've decided to scrap the 292 transplant in my '60. The engine was just going to cost too much to rebuild. Block would have to go to .080 over, only pistons we could find in that size were forged. Had to be line bored, rods needed redone or relaced, crank was barely salvageable and heads needed much work, So it goes. The last person to rebuild the thing had mismatched the rod and main caps, everything was worn badly.
I have a 351W already built, so I'm going to use it instead and save the rebuild money for the MII front end.
