Asked this before but didnt' com eup with much. lookin' for cool stuff for a 292 six, speedway has a couple offy intakes & a valve cover, but I wanna see If I could find a cool side cover and just see what all my options were. I've seen some cool looking sixes on here the past few weeks, but I think they were all smaller ones.

Try Stovebolt Engine Co. They have 'no name' finned side covers, and he makes his own cast iron headers. Besides those, and the valve covers and intake, it's about all you need to dress one up. I can post a pic of mine when i get home tonight, it's been posted before here. The Candy red one with the Zebra firewall.
Tom is also a great one to talk to about hopping up the 292. Gave me the scoop on using LPG pistons, the right cam, and other tips on my engine. Also clued me into using the T-10 5 speed behind it. He's a wealth of knowledge about straight sixes, used to be an engineer at GM.

PM hubnut, has worked on many of these engines being that between the two of us we've owned about 80 of these damned things.

Call Charlie Price in Fla, (the carb guy). Occasionally he comes up with some off stuff. Also go to Hemmings and call everybody who even remotley sounds like there into the sixs. you'd be surprised. See ya at Hershy?
