I was on craigslist and saw a ad from someone wanting a ford big block 429-460
I was not planning on selling the one that I got but now I want to run propane so I figured what the heck I'll give the guy a call, he offered me $800 site unseen
that is a offer I have a hard time refusing!!!
I would like to learn about propane, I am thinking about setting something up for my 78 Bronco on either my 351w or my 460 with dual 4's
I want it to be fast and have good torque but still be economical to drive, I am trying to build a multi purpose vehical?
I noticed that Mil1ion mentioned running on propane,
and I am giving this some thought and would like some more info on this.
what kind of mileage can we get, should I do it to my 351W or my 460 with dual 4's?
this will be going in my 78 Bronco that I am going to trick out, I would like it to be...
