John60 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Gents,I am playing with a 54 Mercury, 256 ci and a Mercomatic. The 256 is a chronic smoker and is to be replaced. I just bought a 292 ci that is missing the following: intake/carb, exhaust manifolds, water pump and distributor. The block casting is C2AE (62' to 64"?). The head casting is ECZ-C (56"?). Now the questions:Will my 256 parts fit the 292 (except distributor)?What would be the best distributor to use with this combo (256 carb is a Tpot)?Suggestions for an eventual Intake and Carb replacement?How do I determine what ECZ-C heads I have (compression ratio/HP)?The engine was a non smoking, good runner but has been sitting for a year. Since it?s out, is there any weak link or "might as well replace it" parts that I should consider?Sorry for the diatribe, but I?d like to do it right and I?m new to Y blocks. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOMS54 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The 256 intake is not a direct fit to a 292 [manifold leaks].Iam looking for a 256 intake and would be interested in a swap. I have a 292 intake off of a 56Ford that i am using on my 54Ford 239.The 292 intake is not compatible with my engine [borderline on manifold leaks].I need and am looking for an intake from a 256. Interested? Dom scalza Linden,NJ 908-925-4613 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOMS54 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I also have a set of cast iron dual exhaust manifolds for your 292. Dom Scalza 908-925-4613 linden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (Sorry if I am hijacking this thread.... but) If anybody needs a 292 (still in its original shortbed 1964 F100 frame) that was last run about a year or so ago, it is available along with a large assortment of other 1961-1964 Ford truck parts left over from parting out several trucks. Make ANY offer and feel free to come pick them up in Wilmington NC. I have a trailer full of left overs that I had to get out of the garage and I need to empty the trailer so I can get my Model A in it before the next show that I plan to go to. (I will actually give this stuff away to prevent having to scrap it if I have to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
56 Victoria Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I could be interested in those 292 exhaust manifolds if they will fit a 272. ejstith@bellsouth.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
