First thing to watch out for is spring seats,have to cut pocket OD with shim in place or likely will hit water or soon after crack there,don't cut to match original depth.
292 was prone to crack in intake runners probably had to do with amount of porting done that has been done.

292 were called the turbo heads and came out just before the Bowtie heads and were prone to cracking between the valves.
