    Didja ever do this ? .

    the 292 is a long stroke engine and so isn't a good bet for a puffer .

    I'm just curious how it worked out .

    The 292 can be turbo charged to 10 pounds of boost stock. 8 pounds of boost is better cause you can be meaner with it, and not worry about a blow out. The inline 6 comes with 7 main bearings....so they have a tough bottom end!
