292 Maybe, but don't see any way to put a 700r4 on a 302 engine. The 292 has
same b/house as all Chev's and will take any trans. 302 Only fits manual
b/house or some adapter thing that is not a very good set-up for a small
Chev engine, sure it wouldn't hold up to the 302. And I've heard there are
problems with it, besides.
