you will need to purchase a feed line , fork lift tanks , tank mounts , base plate from a carb . you will also need a 4brl intake manifold. i used the edelbrock performer.
i reccomend aluminum tanks. they are much lighter than steel ones.

I thought you were selling yours for a sec... that's what I get for not looking at what forum I'm in.
I tossed the propane idea around but ended up with EFI so I would have the bed space for an extra seat.
Good Link!

Can you go propane with EFI or will my computer and sensors have a fit?

i would only run efi or only propane. you can mix the two but is it really worth the expense and extra weight on the rig .

Good point. Just thought I would jump on the bandwagon.

And it also restricts your air flow to the carb from what I've read. Making it less efficient for both gas and propane. Plus you must run the carb out of gas before you switch over to propane. I looked into it before going to propane.

Sounded good until the 4brl part, oh well.
