Did GM make a 292 engine?
General Motors powered its Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the optional 292 cubic-inch, inline, six-cylinder engine. The 292 was a common power plant for light duty pickups because of its relatively high torque, which gave the three-quarter ton and one-ton trucks good pulling power.
Why are inline 6 engines so smooth?
Due to the normal firing order of a straight-six, the pistons move in-tandem with their mirror image on the other side of the engine block. ... This makes a smooth-revving engine for which units like the S50 and RB26 have become famous for.

What should SBC timing be set at?
Depending on your cylinder heads, compression ratio, camshaft, and centrifugal advance curve in the distributor, "normal" base timing for a street high-perf small-block Chevy is somewhere in the 12- to 18-degree before top dead center (BTDC) range, with total timing at full centrifugal advance about 34 to 36 degrees ...
How much horsepower does a inline 6 have?
With a 230-cubic-inch inline six with a mild cam, headers, and the cylinder head work we've described, you could expect to make around 250 to perhaps 260 horsepower. Because the inline six crankshaft is so long, even with 7 main bearings it's probably not a good idea to spin these engines much beyond 6,000 rpm.
Why is it called a Stovebolt six?
This pushrod six-cylinder design was only engine offered by Chevrolet from 1929 until the advent of the small block V8 in 1955. The earliest of these engines were known as “stovebolt” sixes, because the bolts that held the engine together resembled the bolts that were commonly used to assemble woodstoves.

How much does a small block Chevy block weigh?
An EMPTY, bare sbc will go 162-169 pounds.
How much does a straight 6 Chevy engine weigh?
