    That's the typical selling price for that engine with all the doodads and gismos to hook her up. That price doesn't include labor obviously.


    So how can you switch from gas to propane? Assuming there isn't a carb anymore with the propane swap...

    Still have te carb, there is an adapter that bolts to the top of the carb to run propane. I'll post a few pictures of it.

    Truck runs great on both fuels. Switch over from gas to propane takes about 1 minute. From propane to gas takes about 15 seconds.

    Pull the knob to run gas (air cleaner opened), push the knob to run propane (air cleaner closed). Switch is for selection of gas/no fuel/propane

    Propane will run on any angle. Where the carb will cut out while on an angle.
