My Dad pioneered propane carboration in the mid 60's He had a T-bird with a big propane tank in the trunk. If he could do it then you can do it now

I have an 85 F250 that was cng powered. I stripped it off to run gas again and it ran like a scalded dog on gas. There will definately be a horsepower loss and refilling is a pain! If you run out, your done, you cant just fill it anywhere.

I think it would be a waste on an SSP and be prepared for negative criticizm.

Thousands and thousands of Fox Body Mustangs out there. Why do this to an SSP? Just get one of those thousands and thousands of generic run of the mill Fox Body Mustangs to make that kind of conversion.

Andy - I always enjoy your spin on things...very poignant in a picture sort of way.
