    Back years ago I had dealings with an ok small block running on propane. The engine way outlasted the body. Just for kicks we took it apart. It was crazy how clean the insides were. It seemed as if the burn was more efficient or something because there was no sign of carbon build up. Keep us updated on how your conversion goes.

    yeah propane causes less stress on engine internals than gas does, the conversion is complete other than wire looming a few wires. Ive almost gone through 25 gallons of propane already and it pulls just life if i ran premium gas or E85 through it.

    Glad to hear of alternative fuels being used. I really have some hope out there. E85 turned me. I always heard the rednecks around my part hate on the 10% ethanol, but the more researching on fuels I did, the more I became interested.
