    I've seen a valve cover kit that allows a person to put the early valve covers on late model engines although it sure looks like an early engine....Big Tim :cool:

    Maybe they are claiming it is something it is not. How ever the posts still state that it is a 292??? Go figure, But no matter what it is, it sure sounds GREAT.:D

    Yes it does sound good but after looking it over again I noticed that the intake ports are rectangular indicating to me that the engine is probably a 292. the intake ports on the earlier 6's are round....Big Tim :cool:

    Darn you, Charles!!!!

    You weren't supposed to look that closely!!! :p

    You blew it for me! Everyone was supposed to just look (NOT CLOSELY~ IT IS A GMC AFTER ALL!!!) :rolleyes: and "listen".

    Of course you were supposed to end up thinking, "Wow, now THAT is a MANLY truck!" :D

    Now that the bowtie is out of the box, all I can say is, "Just think how a l-o-n-g block would sound..." :cool:

    Relax Zig the 54 Jimmy is the best looking truck of all the G.M.C.'s but it's the blown bowtie that makes it perfect. :D Big Tim :cool:
