14:1 compression - should be good for straight LPG?

ISTBC.

hi again paul. what can you tell me about the engine in the mean time. is it a 292 not a 250 ?. what was your use for engine going to be when you built it. why was engine block resleaved. 14-1 commpression what fuel was you going to use . is the cam standed. any think else you can think of.

LPG octane not what it used to . be lucky to get 100 octang now days.

the motor was out of a chev C 60 truck and was going back into one it may not have being 14-1 I cant remember exactly it was 15 years ago when I bought the parts had a flat tappet cam shaft very torque'y type of cam motor was going to be built to run on straight gas and had to look standard on the out side
I had a theory that if Dodge could build a 318 that went like the clappers got fairly good MPG and lasted forever then if I built a straight motor motor like a race motor with a suitable carby and and cam shaft it should be able to do the same
I have also thought that IH 345 and 392 should be able to be built the same

and yes it is a 292 mexican 6

seeya
