292's are good engines but, like you I prefer a 312 too.

Oh ya, OI, the 292 is a good motor and good enough for me. It pulls really well and it starts fast. A 312 would be cool though.
Dutch, it's really easy to fool people about the difference between a 292 and a 312. There's measuring the main bearing journals or finding that little pill shaped bump on the crankshaft flange. Both of these things are very hard to do.

Yes Bama, a 272, and lots of them. There was also a 239 Y-block and its Merc companion a 256 in 1954.
Y-blocks rule.

That's what I was thinking. Most 312's were actually 272's, just like all sbc's are Corvette motors, LoL!

I put the flywheel back in the Fairlane. This is the first time I've ever put a flywheel back on up in through the bottom of the bellhousing. The transmission is just pulled back far enough to get the clutch out, so you can't see when the holes are lined up. I finally made a headless pin and screwed it into one hole, then mounted the flywheel. That guaranteed that one hole was lined up, but I wanted all six lined up. AAAghrra. Here is a picture of it bolted on.
