The engine sounds like it may be the 292 'Mexican' engine as in Euan's CGT.
Beast of an engine for a CMP.

Also, I knew my engine had been replaced with a 'direct replacement' engine and thought it was a Holden straight 6 but it may be a Blue Flame, its number is GM 2771291 on the block and on the manifold it says 'GM Mexico 1972' and a bunch of numbers too, if it is a Blue Flame are these also know as Chev 235's ?
plus are they a good engine and decent performer in a Blitz ?
Thanks
Andy
