Propane Conversion

...Question is why did he not use either twin 300 or 292??

He needed the GM engine to make up for what the Ford engine lacked. 

Come on, that was like a slow pitch right down the middle.  Somebody had to take a swing at it.

Hello i drill natural gas Wells and some wells need compressors to equal line pressure. So on those well we use a ford 2.3 to run the pumps and hook them into the natural gas. The motors dint last long due to natural gas not having lubrication properties. Also the oil almost always looks clean i think due to the clean burning. I'm not an expert just what i have seen over the years. Also i dint know the oiling properties of propane i do believe it is considered a wet gas.

I did a number of LPG and CNG conversions before I moved from BC to WA (after my accident) and my Jtruck will be a stroker Jeep 6 with LPG soon (11:1 compression to take advantage of the 120 octane) The engines wore out on those pumps because the 2.3L was a poorly self oiling engine. Mohawk came up with an oil additive (that's when zinc was added) to counteract the drying effect of CNG and LPG. Taxis had 300,000 plus miles between motor changes.
