The reasons for the build are strait forward. Energy security and options. There is a war going on. Everytime the FED raises rates to fight inflation OPEC cuts production. Russia and China have officially unified and Broke the US dollars hegemony internationally with 16 more nations...
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...
I am still learning and posted here to learn more.
The factory rated per mile on the '93 suburban unleaded is ~14 gallon. Not great fuel optimization on the TBI design. I believe it was tbichips.com that was recommended here and planning to have him do the final tune and chip burn after Dyno...
@TBItoy enjoyed your input here. He did resolve my question about accomplishing best efficiency through quench rather than compression with life of the engine being priority. He broke down what is being accomplished with the selection of marine and industrial components and machiningto perform...
I met with the engine builder with more pointed question on why we aren't going with the higher compression that seams more efficient for propane in rock crawling. He said we are accomplishing comparable efficiency and power through quench factor coming to .045" with the d dish pistons in the...
Here is the work order as it stands.
Thank you @extremetownie. That is inline with my understanding as well. It seams that propane becomes more efficient at the higher compression. Going with stock compression under 10 sounds like it is not optimizing the propane unless there is something...
