propane

There is a nice carby for straight gas called a gas research. it is just for propane no petrol.i am running one on a 253 holden v8 with a hei ignition and a lpg cam. i get better mileage than i did on petrol. conversion didn't cost much as i was already building the new motor so i just built for lpg instead of petrol. the convertor has a primer button for those cold mornings just like a choke. its pretty cool. website is www.gasresearch.com.au no power loss, great fuel economy and good throttle response.

cheers

Roy from Propane Guy says this about my 350 with TBI

jack...under hood impco/autotronics duel fuel kit will cost you $1200.00 us for under hood kit.....certified propane service hose will cost you $20.00 plus $9.00 a foot.....remot propane fuel sending unit to connect to your dash guage is $45.00.....remote fil assembly is $75.00/....buy your tank in usa...roy

 

[Mace]

That is about right, remember that with the autotronics you are adding at least $300 to the kit.

Plus everything is new.



If you buy used, it can be cheaper

I just got a quote back from a local distributor - $700 for everything to do the 2F. Local price of LPG is 2.85/gal compared to $3.17 for regular/$3.45 for premium.

I hope to order mine soon, I'll post complete buildup when I do.
