If you had a better flowing heads with a ported intake I would go with the 292 to take advantage of the larger cam shaft. If you plan on larger heads or ported go with it just, bump your compression up alittle bit. I love my 292 it pulls great after 3000rpm's.

With zero head work go with the 280 the 292 is a lil big for what you got.

292 is too big for what you need. definitely the 280.
