Buy rings and install them. youll need a complete gasket kit.
best to spec out your bores and have your heads ground while your in there.

Do NOT tear into your engine for just that purpose. you will find broken pistons bad cam bearings cylinder walls tapered timing chain deflection out.
once you go in plan on a big repair. plus if its factory you need to install the hardened valve seats with an aftermarket overhead oiling system. Unless you plan on doing a complete rebuilt seriously think about wether you want to open that can of worms.

I completely agree with the first paragraph. As for hardened seats not so much, unless the truck is going to be worked frequently or run on the strip, or there is an aftermarket cam requiring high spring pressures. Also do not agree with the need for overhead oiler. Opening a can of worms...absolutely. The last and recent 292 I tore down was a "runner". Timing chain had so much slack it may have been hitting cover. Bearings bad, crank needs reground, lifters were concave on the face, multiple broken rings, cylinder taper BIG, distributor centrifugal weights close to breaking at the spring anchors, and so on.

Yes, if you need new rings there are many more things needed too.
