seems there are allot of excrement head interested in propane power. First off where I live propane propane can be had at 1.95 at the pump and could be had for allot less if you had a home tank and pumped your own. But why am I telling all you dumb turds about this? after all propane has an octane rating of 105 to 110, better than racing gas and would be best used in an (unboosted) engine that has a compression ratio of 12.5 to 1 or better. Crap,now a whole lot of turdheads will be buying pane
I am building a 460 with a switzer turbo I found on ebay for 100.00. It will be on propane. Could you send me some pics of your engine bay? Maybe even post them?
Your numbers are way off. This thing wouldn't get 15mpg running on gasoline. And now that you have it running on propane it will get worse fuel mileage even comparing the price of the propane vs the price of gas. And you will also have to pay an extra road tax to the state since you have made the swap. If propane was the way to go all vehicles would be using it.
I have a 76 International bus that runs on propane.. 345 v8.. runs awesome and starts soooo easy.. no choke or pumping the pedal. just dont try to start it when the temp is below 5 F or so... at least not without a full tank of fuel.
Hey I did not do the conversion but the owner did a great job, this thing sounds and feels like a alison hydroplane engine when bouncing around town and when on the freeway and opening it up it sounds like a tomcat Jet.. After 20 year in the Navy I know that sound . Many people dont know that propane while not as burnavble as gas can give this much power but when done right it sure can
