[QUOTE="Burbling2500, post: 1573348, member: 21902"] Engine should be done this month. Talking with him he mentioned this whole build is based off the specs of Pepsi's 427's and 454. His experience working on them and examining what worked and what didn't. Quotes below. I also mentioned it to the founder of carb and turbo David. He's been building and designing lp fuel system since the 60's in industrial applications. His sentiment was the same. Build right LPG engines will outlast pump gas. End of. "W"e have put in place valves called out specifically for l.p.gas and/or natural gas severe duty applications. Seat rings are the (n) series for LP and natural gas Designed specifically for this application. In past years, I have had experience with rebuilding 427/454 truck heads for Pepsi cola company. The materials being used are tried and true combinations that had given Pepsi the longest service life in their fleet of product delivery trucks. The valve job or valve seat seal is the key.
