292
We had a 292 in our HUP when we bought it. Lots of power but alot of the floor , crossmember etc.. had been cut out to make clearences. The HUP is getting re engined with a 235, which seems to be the best all around replacement for Chev CMP's. If it comes right down to doing a complete engine swap for making a CMP a regular driver I would have to say go Diesel all the way.
By the way the 292 would not have bolted up to a 216 bellhousing, therefore had a different bellhousing in place. Seems like there are lots of 235's around as they where a common civvy engine from the 40's and 50's, and all parts still available for rebuilds. ALot less hassle for a 216 engine swap, can't see why you'd look for anything else. Just my 2 cents
