I have a freind who has a 292 block in a hay barn under a ton of hay. I have to travel 200 miles and wait until a ton of has has been used to get to this engine to see what it is. He did say it does not have the ram horn manifolds, but was the heavy duty engine used in marine applications and commercial trucks. I understand no one can tell me with this might be, but is there a 292 that was used in commercial engines and marine applications and if so, is the possibility this might be one worth pursuing?  He said it ran perfect when he removed it four years ago except had an oil leak at the rear main. I am looking for a block I can disamble and rebuild over the next four/five years, so running or not is not important. Thanks in advance if anyone has any information on what a commercial 292 might actually be.
