Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Old Pickup Truck Engines

 

My old race car hauler was a '63 C10 with a 292, they must be older than that.  Got 13 mpg, uphill, down, loader or unloaded...The engine never knew there was a load on the truck, only way to tell when you had too much was when the brakes quit working, the 292 didn't seem to care one way or another.. bk --- On Fri, 1/20/12, Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Re : Old Pickup Truck Engines To: diesel_mercedes@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, January 20, 2012, 8:00 PM   Funny you should mention that as just last Sunday I scored one complete from fan to tranny , including the air cleaner , for only $100 ~ the goofball ' rat rod ' idiots are nuts about these as they look vintage but are a modern GM design (1964) so they're lightweight , powerful and thrifty on fuel too plus , they're easy to mate to GM trannies like the fabulous 700r4 overdrive slushbox . Some do not know that this is a factory stroker design , made for heavy duty use in light and medium duty Chevy and GMC trucks . It's still in production in Mexico I believe . -Nate Nate wrote: > > anybody like the big 292 6 cylinder.That was a great engine. >   > > > ________________________________ >
