Re: Intro: Another "obsolete" engine going propane.
I assume that is a Ford crank? One thing to keep in mind it factory 3.98" cranks are externally balanced while all other FE's are internal. You will need to either have it internally balanced to the rest of the rotating assembly (best choice but expensive) or use a counter weighted flywheel/flexplat...

Re: Introduction and question on water injection
The turbo choice was simply because I had them. If starting the same project today from scratch I would source something more efficient/newer and better sized. Water will be a Snow performance system, I picked up most of the parts for cheap at a swap meet. But a few parts and pieces are still needed...

Re: Which Holley throttle body should I use?
Vacuum secondary can be modified to work but a standard mechanical secondary is best. One note pay attention to the mounting holes, some base plates have a hole right in the middle that a 425 doesn't use. That needs plugged, drill and tap for an 1/8" pipe plug is the easiest, install plug in the top...

This engine has been my proof of concept/test bed and doesn't owe me anything. To be eventually replaced with a 360 FE with aftermarket rods and pistons, few other goodies ...

Re: Introduction and question on water injection
I am familiar with water injection on diesel but have never fooled with it on any other fuel. Buddy's pulling tractor has 11 nozzles throughout the system at 1000psi, during a pass it burns more water than fuel! I have been actively driving the setup as is, so it must be fairly safe. Runs veeery str...

Introduction and question on water injection

Ford 390 Twin T04B turbos Impco 425 to single 2.5" throttlebody Direct mounted modified model E. No inte...
