Hey all,
Finally finished the move to Oklahoma. Almost have the garage cleared for the wagon to return home from storage.
Anyone ever mess with LPG conversions? I was looking at these for an offy 3x1 setup on a Chevy 250.

It seems nutty enough to gain my attension.

I haven't totrally ruled out a propane or LNG conversion on my car. There isnt funding at the moment to play though, so it is still in the non-abandoned ideas pile.

There is lots of stuff on it, it's neat.

I would need eight of those carbs, they are rated up to 70 HP.:D

The price of propane is so high that it doesn't make sense to do the conversion.
