Any input from the mechanical wizards on here, or your wize, wrench-wielding friends.
My understanding is that merc only produced the 200 hp Mercruiser configuration for a year, 1969, using the 292 w/MCM II drive - some bastardization of the sideways lifting elgin style lower er sumpin'. Can I mate an inline to an alpha or bravo drive, or am I stuck with the MC 1?
I'm finding a few ci 250 to 292 conversion threads but no real evidence of success. The guys selling these 292 blocks arent the most responsive ...

Gillie,
Jasper is employee owned and somewhat geared toward the vintage/ antique crowd.
They should have answers for you regarding drive compatibility and long stroke longevity
vs a more over square design with lower side loading of the piston skirts.
