I have got the 292's on my 69. In 1980 I did the engine over, and threw the 186's right in the garbage can. Yeah, that was forward thinking! It is easy changing plugs with headers though! You can't hear it right now, but I have the ass kicking machine out.
P.s. the 292's have the blocked off heat risers. Great heads

This is awesome Steve, and that shot of the two of you is priceless.

As you know, I am also fortunate to have a "car freak" in the family, (my son Ian) who shares my passion (insanity?) so it is always neat to see.

Well tonight I take this car out for the first cruise night of the season. I've been delayed quite a few weeks because of a defective RAM clutch. Their technical/customer support is lacking and they had no answers just "try installing the larger throw-out bearing or try an adjustable clutch fork pivot. Anyway I installed another brand (LUK) clutch and it works great.
