HEY ALL. I LIVE IN TENNESSE AND I JUST BUILT MY 84 1200 ASPENCADE TO RUN ON PROPANE. I'M A MANAGER AT A LOCAL PROPANE FACILI TY SO, I LOVE PROPANE AND PROPANE ASSECCORIES.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REGISTER ON HERE FOR A DAY OR TWO AND FINALLY GOT THRU ON MY 2ND REGISTERED NAME.
ANYWAY HERE IS SOME PICS OF MY BUILD AND PRESENT CONDITION. I DON'T NORMALLY TAKE ENOUGH PICS AND THEY ARE CERTANLY NOT GOOD. I STILL HAVE ALOT LEFT 2 DO. I STARTED THIS 2 FRIDAYS AGO AND HAVE ONLY GOT TO WORK ON IT ABOUT 18 HOURS. FOR NOW I'M GOING FOR FUNCTION BEFORE BEUTY AS I NEED TO TAKE A TRIP ON THIS THING IN THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST.
O YEA, IT WILL RUN 92MPH IN 2ND GEAR. ITS GOT A DAKOTA DIGITAL TACH/SPEEDO CALIBRATED WITH MY GPS. DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL MILAGE IT'LL GET YET. TANK WILL HOLD 8 GALLON. IT SHOULD GET AT LEAST 36MPG.
cool. i thought about that the other day. My tanks are the dual squat ones for the trunk of a car but sold my mixer and valves and said na I got other things to do. Time to turbo it next . how heavy is that tank when full. ?JB
jbz........... Thinkin about sh-t too hard and You wont get anything done
Cool application though, how safe is the tank? What carb change?

27 times more puncture proof than a common gasoline tank with no vapor or vents to worry with.
I kept the original carbs for the throttle body, removed the breather box top and capped, removed the metervalves from the center of the carbs. With all top caps removed I built a box to adapt 1 propane mixer per 2 carbs. The center section is left open so that 1 mixer will still run both sides if neccecary. Keeping both sides open also help with tuning, bout the only thing i need to put in sinc is the vacum on each throtle body.
No, but that is one of the most realistic life like shows I've ever seen. Seems like you know someone just like each caracter. I don't watch it anymore cause it says too many bad words.
Yes, 92mph in 2nd gear! Is 11000rpm to much for a wing engine?
No, I wouldn't think so. They have pretty heavy duty crankshafts and rods and with the mechanically adjusted valves, they should be able to handle it.
looks like a 1200 to me with the hydraulic valve lashers . I think the factory redline on the 1200 is around 7500 rpm-8000 rpm . 11000 rpm thats up there. jb

I wouldnt run that high very often. Stock valves are pretty heavy and old stock valve springs are not made for that. It is a pretty cool project though.
