Alternative Fuels

Im actually down in beaverlodge now, so Im only about 2 hrs from you there neighbour. hah Due to a recent kick in the balls financially via the economy, it wont be before next winter that I can even begin to potentially pick up another old bagger ford to start working on. Then saying that, I will pr...

havent built it...dont even know when I'll ever get to build it.
If I ever get to build it, it would get a fresh rebuild. Port n polish, basically just a stock rebuild with the cam and intake ...then any suggestions I can get.

made a post on another forum some time ago with a cheap build. I was looking for some HP & Tq numbers, so a member with desktop dyno figure it out. Heres the thread http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/63201 ... 400-a.html

yup on there as pud as well...I searched around a little last night and found one guys build, with a 400 ford. He ended up with about 8.8:1 dcr and expected it to work well. It was still a build thread, never had the engine finished.

8.6:1 too much Dynamic compression? 78.5cc open chamber heads and flattops, 10.2:1 static comp, running up to about 4500rpm.
Ill start searching but ive been having login issues, my comp like to have siezures. This is the first time ive been able to log in in the last month and a half.

im sorry if this is irrelevant to the thread...i dont have time to read the long winded posts here. I just thought I have something credible to add here. Last year I made a long distance move, and needed a truck. I found a 1991 F350 crew cab 4x4 with a 460 on propane only )have since sold it). It ha...

last winter i had an F350 w/460 on propane and I was making several trips between Alberta and BC, I lived south of Prince George BC, and was travelling through there on my way to alberta. There was a Super Save gas bar that had propane on at a consistent 43.9 cents per liter, meanwhile every other g...

89 F350 crew cab 4x4 5 speed, top speed is about 110km/h (65mph) at like 3500rpm (guess, dont have a tach)...get about 3 km/L , or 7.5 mpg

been having troubles getting it to refuel when its cold out. -20-30c range. Its auto stop. One tank i havent been able to get fuel into for a week now. Im on a tight schedule due to long distance moving im in the middle of so please excuse the briefness. Im just wondering if anyone else has had any ...

now heres an idea...find an MSDS for propane and see what the max allowable volume youre allowed to carry for private use. When I took the TDG course I cant rememeber if it was just diesel, or all fuels....but the max allowable private amount youre allowed to transport is 4000L IIRC (it was gallons ...

haha oh hey. I was going to say if youre anywhere around Quesnel I can get you a good deal on some 289 heads with the 53cc chambers for a major bump in compression, just need to bore out the head bolt provisions. My bro in law has a shwack of em, my jaw hit the floor when I went walkin in his shop a...

what part of BC are you in?

Im no expert. Ive read here that 11:1 is a good high ratio for propane. With 9.5:1 and 6 psi your final ratio is 13.4:1 and with 8psi it is 14.7:1. The numbers were taken from a chart on the KB-silvolite site for final CR when using a supercharger. With the proper tuning you could be able to pull of...

Frank, since youve got an FTE log-in and know a thing or two :wink: you might be interested in this thread http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/541310-diy-propane-injection.html the guy is going for the DIY- propane injection on a n/a diesel. Theres been a few ideas tossed around. There biggest problem...

thanks frank! Im going to have to read that a few more times to soak it all in. lol Ill get back to you if Ive got more questions.
I think I see you on FTE sometimes as "fraso" is that you or franz?
