technocarb makes a setup that can support up to 800 horsepower. it's not cheap, but it is awesome.

sofa king what, if you build with propane in mind, bump the compression to the moon, and kick the timing up a bunch it will scream, will you really notice a 5% loss with 700+hp????
the trade off is a minute loss in power v.s. a gas engine of a similar build, but take into consideration that the pressurized propane is a closer comparison to a more efficient fuel injected motor, so that cancels out the trade off due to carbs being less efficient than injection or propane.
I WIN THIS ROUND

I love all the sideline "computer builds" that float around the interwebz. Until someone builds a propane motor that can run with a stroked out BBF in a side by side real world deal, I will continue to call out and wave the BS flag! Nothing makes me lol more than people that have only "web research" to go off of an not real world experience. No offense intended towards Dan for suggesting, it just gets old to read on this and all the other forums.
Ok, done with my tired Monday rant...

the dovetailing killed my love of yer truck, i understand form over function for a wheeler, but i hate the looks of doved fronts.
if i ever get the bronco done(i hate waiting on moniez) i'll wheel it how i planned to build it, and start researching link setups for down the road because i'd like to move the front axle forward so the tires stick just past the bumper a few inches for approach angles, probably leave the rear close to where it's at.

I've seen a respectable 460 Ford on Propane in person, but boy, I don't know if I could get use to that smell.
It was in "Fordzilla" saw it out at Dresser WI.
I think I'll try out a diesel to see how I like it.
