Yes, use everything you can that was on the 312 to build the 292 engine. You'll need EBU rods to match the 292 crank and 292 pistons to match the crank/rods & bore. http://www.ford-y-block.com/dimensions.htm
The timing cover, damper pulley, exhaust manifolds, oil pan, PS mounting brackets, dipstick tube, generator (& its mounting brackets) and probably a couple more things I forgot, are all T-Bird specific but they'll fit on either block.
Here's a link to a 'Mistakes not to make' list....
