Propane on a 383 stroker...

[cj5 buggy]

i did this for the sole purpose of being able to ride on my hood ...
pretty straight up install, i'm a cheap guy, so i pieced most of it tgether, between e-bay and local prpane stores i got it done.

if you have any ques. feel free to post and i'll try and answer them.

The carb setup worked good in FL... it ain't worth a damn in these hills.

kit i got off of ebay for a little less than half off...
1.
20 gal fuel cell out...
2.
hard and soft lines out...
3.
just in case i did need fuel leave a temp fuel line.
4.
still got some cleaning...

note to self... when you swap axles and do a test run, don't forget the vent tubes...

also, with the water source i was going to go from the top of the water pump to the block...





how about this?
How else to make a bracket, scrape steel right?
the old holder from our broken 2K lb winch from harbor freight, my old axle brace and a piece of scrape metal

looking good now right?...

with the evaporator hooked to the carb i get nothing.. so i brought the scout up to make sure i have vacuum... nuthing, but at least now it freezez


my issue was the hose from the evaporator and the carb was to far. i don't know exact length, but mine works and it is around 12"

other than a couple things it won't be long...

she is pretty much done for now...

this am started with replacing the shifter as i melted the cable to the exhaust last night setting the timing. and it as been under the water and mud so many times it has started to go out lately..
out with the old


in with the new


of course i needed to bleed the brakes... so i used my christmas present.


then i finished up with the tank mount, i used the 3" flat stock for the underneath.


only going to run one, so Mr. Wrinkles will have room.


oh yeah he got a treat today also.




motor is tuned



got her all timed up and she running REALLY good. i had no idea propane was 110 octane, which actually woke the stroker up.

very cool man! I've seen other complete propane kits, but (money-wise) how much do you have into all the parts?

[cj5 buggy]

kit was 250
some hoses and clamps 40 bucks
tanks 150 for the 3 from a local guy

so around 450 or so. which is cheaper to me than going fuel inj.

That's awesome man. How far can you go on a tank of propane?

about 4-5 hours a tank.

1 tank cost me about 21.00 bucks... as of right now i can ride a good weekend on the threes tanks. which is actually cheaper than the gas tank i had.
