Familiar sight, the front cross over, stock exhaust, my F600 has the same thing. On mine the valve covers are a metallic gold, not sure if that signifies something with these Y blocks.
I thought I saw reproductions of the rams horns type manifolds, which makes it possible for dual exhaust, seems the other Y block manifolds will interfere on the steering box side.
I wanted to install those on the F600, as the heat that comes off that cross pipe, sure keeps that engine compartment nice and warm on a hot day. Those rams horn manifolds used to fetch a hefty price, if you could find a set, so I left as is, but had a heck of a time quieting this old truck down, kept having problems with manifolds, bought some off ebay, and finally got them to seat with out a leak, even napa was helpful, for valve cover gaskets, manifold gaskets, I helped them zero it down, but I did get the right parts the first time.
Of course like you said, you'll want to keep er just as she was, but always an option, the 292 does have a nice sound to it, and I thought for a big ole truck like the F600, it was decent on fuel with the 2bbl carb, same as a pick up truck, just no real power on hills, but nonetheless, was not bad for the 30 mile range I used to run it.
