Re: IML: Blown 392 Megasquirt EFI

Remco;
  I have never heard of hooking a blower up to a propane (LPG) fuel system,
I have heard of ones on Diesel engines and of course gasoline but not
propane. Are the blower pistons rated for gasoline or propane, if for
gasoline then your compression ratio will be too low for propane. In fact a
set of standard 9.5:1 rated pistons would be more then low enough for a
supercharged propane engine, a normally aspirated propane engine can easily
run at 12:1 compression with no pinging.
  If I were you I would cancel the order for the set of headers asap. If not
specifically noted to do so they will not fit around the torsion bars in
your Imperial without drastic modification. Most headers for early hemis
were designed  for installation in hot rods not as replacements for O.E.M
manifolds, certainly not Imperials.
 I can't speak for or against the propane injection system that you mention
only that you should get your rebuild under wraps first before you start on
additional mods. I know of many people that have gone this route and have
ended up with a car sitting in pieces for years because they get in over
their head too fast and don't have the money or time to complete it.

Hi list .
I have ordered all the parts for my soon to be strong 392. ( 57 crown)
a Nice 6-71 supercharger , a good set of blowerpistons , a not to radical
cam and a set of headers.
plus of course all the normal parts needed for a complete rebuild.

Now I am also thinking of using liqued propane injection with  a megasquirt
EFI controler .
anyone here that has experiance with the megasquirt systems ,
On the website it all looks almost to good to be real.
