propane?

I have 2- 1979 Ford trucks on propane. If your truck has been on propane all its life like mine, the heads and carb will be damaged and have to be replaced along with any other rubber fuel line parts. I need a rebuild on the bearings on my 302 and intend to put mine on unleaded during this process. I live in OK and propane is not cheap.

Actually propane is 118 octane. You could go higher than 13:1, Cummins makes 2 versions of it's B series diesel converted to run on either LPG or CNG and if I'm not mistaken they are around 18:1. You also need to advance the timing running propane and you could even have the Distrib advance recurved.
