My Propane Powered SAS Resto Project

LPG PWRD · 09-26-2008, 12:05 PM

What got the project started.... In school at University of Northwestern Ohio, I built a 358 SBC w/ 13.2:1 Compression ratio that is a dedicated propane fueled engine. Now getting it to work in the truck needed new trans due to it being a 4l60e so it was cheeper to get a NV4500. Then just snowballed from there.

Truck specs stock:
1994 GMC K1500 ECSB 350TBI 4l60e
First chitty cell pic of it, and the only one I could find now.

Then she got a 3" BL and some 33" BFG AT's
No pic

Then a 6" Trailmaster but still ran the 33"s, Still had too much tread to just pitch em..

Yea I know gay pic, dad made me stand there like a douche. I wish I could p-shop my fat ass out

Let the clutter begin

More tear down

New rear xmembers so I can mount the LP tanks in there and tuck them

LPG PWRD · 09-26-2008, 12:13 PM

The newly painted frame and axles.

New xmember w/ ladder bar mounts

D60 and 14BFF

Its a slow process since I can only go out to work on it on the weekends, and the woman gets pissy when I do that. Oh well.

good thing you came to your senses.

i did 9 mos there, learned 3 things. how to smoke certain plants, how to drink beer, and how to avoid Lima girls.

got the hubs today. holy crap, you said they were new, i figured they had at least been bolted on. thanks for the great deal!

hopefully we can figure out something for headers, looks like you're onto something with those Camaro headers. which generation Camaro are they for?

LPG PWRD · 09-26-2008, 02:52 PM

3rg gen (82-92) but they are dports so if i run the camaro headers, i will pick up an oval port set

Stupid question. What are the tanks for?
