Putting in the 292 would not be a "bolt-in" procedure. You have to fab up front motor mounts and would likely have to change the rear ones too as the later style engine will have a different bell housing than the 235. The trans will most likely fit the bell housing of the 292 bit you have mounting

I agree, no media. Anyways, the pushrods should clean up nicely in a parts washer. I have used walnut shells on pistons to get the carbonizing out of the ring grooves and then cleaned, cleaned, cleaned to make darn sure there are no left-overs. Be meticulous and surgically clean. Allen '50 3100

The pushrod just needs to be clean and straight with no damage or unusual wear at either end. I don't recommend glass bead blasting internal engine parts due to microscopic glass bead material remaining imbedded in the metal parts. You can roll the push rods on a flat surface to check and see if th
