[QUOTE="zhutchison, post: 301573, member: 5595"] The motor is a gm crate 383 that is sitting on the stand, it had 3,000 miles on it then started rattling so it was replaced and we picked it up cheap. Tore it down and the only thing we could find wrong through the entire motor was a loose rocker arm from a bad poly nut, it has new rings and bearings, studded rods and mains and all new gaskets.The big issue with propane is the fuel cell is already bought and mounted along with the inline pump, not a big fan of just throwing those away. The axles are 5.13 and with the doubler I think the gearing would work alright for the lack of raw horsepower for this year, it's already planned to do rear steer this winter and swap motors this winter just trying to figure out which of the two we have would be the better candidate for a rebuild while the truggy is running to swap in.
