I bought another 62 for parts (bad rust problems) that had a good running 292 in it with a 4 bbl. I pulled it, cleaned it up & painted it "Universal Engine Red" (Hot Rod Red). I started the swap from the very tired 223 Sunday Am and have the truck drivable again. It has duals made from the truck single manifolds (til I find some Rams Horns or get headers) with 2" pipes and a pair of Cherry Bombs. This is great, I no longer feel like I have to get out and push it down the street! I still need to modify the Holley's fuel inlet so my Louvered chrome air cleaner will fit over it and install the chrome valve covers plus a few other dress up details.
I have also found another 292 that I am going to buy & hot rod to put in the truck with a T-5 at a later date.
Just kind of stoked and had to post about it.

Someone in the Slick 60s group recommended this same carb. I am going to look around and see if I can come up with a good used Holley 390 or a ? 500 first. Truck budget dictates a used carb for now, lol. It's doing OK with the 600 till then.
