Anyone have any experience with the 292 cid engine? I think that Mercruiser only used this engine for about one year.
Not much difference between the 250 and the 292 blocks except the 292 has a taller deck height and the right side motor mount is in a different spot.
Anyone tried a swap to an existing 165 HP and lived to tell the tale?
I expect the rubber exhaust tube might need to be a bit longer but is there anything else that would really need to be changed? I suppose if one re-used the original carb it might need to be re-jetted to a bit bigger to avoid leaning out the fuel mixture.
