292 sounds right. That was Chevy’s “big six” back then. The half ton trucks got a 235 and the bigger trucks got the 292. Lots of school buses and tow trucks had that engine.
I think I remember the Chevy 292 but this was a Ford with a V-8. I am going on memory and it might have been a 56 and it could have been a 312 but I think it was a 292.
“292 sounds right” 292 was a ford v8 in the early 60s.
He’s talking Ford, and their 292 was a V8.
