WTB: Schrick 292

[pompei426]

Looking for a new Schrick 292. Wondering if anyone has one collecting dust that they have no plans to use. Figured I would check before I buy a new one.

Probably not what you need but I have a complete motor with the 292 in it. Would sell it for $500. It was actually rebuilt about 12k miles ago but the oil pump failed and blew the head gasket out. I am currently swapping to an M42 so I haven't bothered to fix it. Or make me an offer. It's still in my car but will be coming out shortly. Dumping the trans as well but it is an auto so it's even more useless.

 

Just FYI, an automatic and the 292 is a very bad combo for torque...Good hell it was gutless.

If you weren't so far away, I'd buy it in a heart beat. I'm in MD and I see you're in UT.

Send me a zip code and I will check the shipping rate. I run a small business and I get awesome rates.

Not that the pictures help you much but here they are anyway. I actually have pictures of the cam at my house in the documents that the PO had taken.

I'm in 20707. I really only need a cam, crank and pistons. I have 2 heads, 2 blocks, and everything else. I'd worry about an oil-starved cam as well. 

[Jbaumshelter]

Yeah, I get it. It actually blew the head gasket ideling in my shop. Had a small oil leak and I was trying to figure it out out. Next thing I know oil and shit everywhere. But I totally understand the concern.

what brand was the cam Jbaum?

[Jbaumshelter]

So I dug thru a bunch of receipts that came with the car tonight. I didn't find anything that would give me the brand. I did find a list of engine upgrades if it interests you at all. I am quoting this direct from the paperwork I found. I'm not a mechanic so this is all foreign to me. 

 

- Rebuilt M10 engine all new gaskets, replace wear items. dissassmbled  and reassembled, rebore to new pistons

- New dome top pistons 1.25

- Upgraded 292 cam installed

- Tii exhaust manifold

- electronic ignition pickup in distributor installed

 

I also found these pictures in the folder. Like I said, means nothing to me but I don't know much.
