Aha! A Chevy 250 that runs on propane. [cl
Ya know, you could run about 8 pounds of boost on that...

yes the engine need almost every gasket changed. How do you think it would run on gasoline? it turns over once and starts right now no problem.

Here is some pic of my sweetie helping take apart the interior and doors.

It would probably run just fine, but gasoline takes more maintenance. You'd probably notice better power with gas over LP, unless the engine was built for LP.

front glass out!!

dash out, rear window out getting ready for support bracing for the top chop
bought another shoebox for a parts car. being delivered next week.

if it has low compression from being built for LPG then I guess its time for a turbo lol

 

[8literbeater]

Original compression ratio would have been around 7 to 1. Propane likes high compression and forced induction. It runs about 110 octane. A typical gas engine loses about 20% of its power (and mileage) going to LP unless it has higher compression.

I just saw an old comet last weekend with a turbo on a six cylinder. I think they look really neat.

The extra top may come in handy for the chop

inside bracing for roof chop and rocker repair

Can't have to much bracing. Seem the bigger the body the more it wants to move around [S
