[QUOTE="Retribution, post: 257523, member: 1368"] Here is my experience with propane, I run a Ford 460 BB. I bought it from [url=http://www.flitelineenginesupply.com/.]http://www.flitelineenginesupply.com/.[/url] When talking with them before the purchase, they told me because I was going to run propane, it would have to be built with hardened rings, valves and seats. In addition to that it has a hotter CAM but it's not been on a Dyno so I don't have any real numbers. Flightline said it's around 350 HP and seat of the pants tells me the torque number is massive. Anyway, it cost me $2,300 for the motor and another $1,200 - $1,500 for the intake, propane system and accessories so, $3,500 - 3,800 and I feel I got a really STRONG motor with zero time on it at a decent price. I too would like details on propane systems, CAM's, single/dual mixer/evap setup and other parts but I would really like to know if it would be possible to get 600 HP out of propane and what I'd have to run to get it (if it's possible).
