I am looking to build a 292 for my truck. I would like a decent amount of getupandgo but do not wish to sacrifice driveability. The originat 3 on the tree will be dumped in favour of an auto(I think maybe a toploader). I have an ECK block, EBU rods,113 heads and a ESU crank for starters. The bling list has a Blue thunder manifold with an Edelbrock carb. Should i go for the forged dome pistons and roller rockers, what is a good compression ratio. Reading thru some old posts has left me a little confused about comp ratios. Is the Y-265S cam a good choice. Having never had to go shopping for these things before I am not sure where to start and what goes best to make up a good package. If it was a 351 the local speed shop would suffice but when I explain what I want to do with a Y the answer is why rebuild a boat anchor (some people have no class or are unable to operate outside of mainstream). Obviously I need a plan for the engine before I start purchasing and any advice is welcome.

Regards Peter.

Hang loose and enjoy the ride.
