i whas think two base plates also and keeping them low i heard the high doubles on one was having problems with power

unsure of the other brands, mine came from propaneguy.com and is only 1.5" think. it is definitly easier to setup linkage and everything

Joel's buggy is my old ride, I built several years back. That is the adapter with two base plates. Had to run dual mixers, but performance wise was day & night. Use to starve out with one 425 on it. Seemed like going from a 425 carb to a 850. Best way I can describe it. Really made motor come alive,and never had anymore problems

after running a vortec motor with fuel injection i would never consider running propane again

change the gas valve to a lean valve part # av1-1644-2 thats from any impco dealer..its made for 370cid and bigger.iv talked to some guys at allternet fuels he has a big block chevelle that runs in the 10s in the quarter mile on propane.they can tell you what to use to make good power...im running a 421cid small block chevy with 14.1 compression with a 680 solid roller cam and brodix heads with a single 425 kit...no problem.. cfm plays a part in hp.but a wiston cup engine uses 390cfm and make around 750hp on gas.i think a 425 mixer has around 460cfm.i dont know how much hp can be made on propane.

YEA it DOES .................SO WHAT ............AIN,T NO ENGINE DYNO,S ON THE TRAIL :****:

My ZUKI runs waaaay better than one that somebody has went through the trouble to convert it over to a tracker 1.6 fuel injected engine, & IT DON,T HAVE all the computer/sensor/wire nitemare CRAP .

Guess yall can tell I like my zuki on the PROPANE ;D

It is a 1.3 , head shaved 30 over, 3 angle valve job ,worked & port matched to the intake/Doug Thorley header , Cal Mini 2000-6000 camshaft & a Got Propane . com propane setup .

CTomlinson · Jan 19, 2011

when i'm at harlan i use 2-3 bottles depend on how much trail riding and it always a long way back out of the hills

twiztedzuki · Jan 19, 2011

beadlocks badass! wow that alot propane! i was hoping mine wouldnt use that much in a day!! plus i only hold one tank, sumbody be haulin my tanks around! and cooler!!!

COLT · Jan 19, 2011

When I ran the pane I would go through about a tank and a half a day on a small block. I have fast ez efi now and absolutely love it. The only thing I liked better about the pane is how safe it was. If I ever ran a 4 banger again I would put propane on it if it wasn't already injected.

Chris, Those rings are the catsass :woot:

TOMMY RAINS · Jan 19, 2011

I can ride GRAY ROCK or MORRISS MTN. ETC. , on one 8 gal. tank for 3 days, when I go to HARLAN I use 3/4 of a tank the first day , and then I strap in another full tank for the next day :dblthumb:

I like your vids, but the extreme close-ups are too much.

Yeah it was closer in than I would have liked but It was sitting on the trailer still and didnt give me a whole lot of room to play with. I just wanted to show the detail that went into this rig.
