Is this sacreligious for a 20b?

First this 20b forum probably has some of the best info with the least deviationon this entire site, so what do I do I deviate immediatly with that comment.

Second I was reading in the rotary performance forum about the propane conversions and the advantages of them. Of course my mind wandered into a propane powered 20b. I know some of you may think Im sick or its sacreligious but its still simple museing here.

So maybe I do have 2 completly backwards comments here.

Um, no you're not. I wrote a web page about propane, because I think it's cool. I like the 20B engine because I think it's cool. As long as you don't clutter up this section of the forum with non 20B related info, you'll be ok.

So are you really planning on doing a propane 20B? Well then this is the forum to discus the matter!

It sounds good to me. I was thinking about running on H2 later on down the road, although I should probably get my car running on the less exotic iso-octane/n-heptane first, LOL.

Actually yes I was kinda seriously concidering it. I have a friend that owns a propane dealership/plant. And he has done the conversion on every vehicle he's owned for the last 15 years.

A twin turbo propane powered 20b FC would definatly be a unique, eco-friendly, *** hauling ride

OK, down here in lil ole NZ, we don't use the term 'Propane' as such, well I never here it anyway.
Is propane what we call LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) by any chance?

I have considered making a daily driver running solely on LPG. Some guys in OZ are getting good HP on rotaries with this, but I may be left of field and talking about somehting else here.

I found a V6 conversion kit that might work here from a local dealer that might work with a 20b its for a 4.0 liter ford ranger though but ...... gotta start someplace and for $350 might be worth it.
