doug, what gear ratio do you plan on running in the rear? mine with a 700r4 and 3.7 gears spins 2500 rpm @80mph. i also have a 27" tall tire. my engine idles and starts great also. i would suggest looking for some trw 2199f pistons. they are based on stock 292 design and are forged. they are built to take alot of abuse. they are also heavy! for a turbo leave the compression at the stock level, open the intake valves to 1.84 or 1.9, make them all good quality stainless also. my cam grind should work good also. you would want to limit boost while towing to a minimum, maybe configure a boost regulator for tow vs driving. the stock bottom end will be fine, since it won't get revved real high also, money saved. i would also reccomend the inline six power manual. it is available on this web site. lots of good reading on 292 stuff there. tom
