Propane blower

 Had a Dodge Pickup with a 440 on propane. Engine went nearly 300,000 
miles then the valve seats just finaly fell apart. The engine was 
quite clean inside for someting with over a quarter of a million 
miles. Be aware that propane will run just okay with stock low 
compression pistons. But it realy needs alot more compression for 
good power, and it will NOT have the same power you would expect from 
an equaly built gas engine. But proper design and tuning will help 
alot!
 The idea of a blown propane engine sounds very interesting, as well 
as an electronic injection system. Perhaps a precision barrel valve
(like on a bug catcher system) on a high speed servo motor controlled 
by the computer.
