i was thinking that it would be awsome if i could make the 7mge run on propane. i was looking at it and i dont think that there is that much electronics that would would be needed to make the 7m run just on propane. i am going to ask the guys at got propane if they could make it work. i was wondering if any of you gurus know if it could work or not. i have seen a 5m or 6m with three side drafts carbs on it and if i remember correctly those motors are fuel injected

  WHY ..OH....WHY!!!

[yotadork83]

i am just building new axle housings as we speak so i can run 42"s soon. the old front was not going to work. and the rear i am shaving armor plating and inboarding the springs so it will be a truck agin soon i have a 12 day vacation coming up so i will be busy as hell to get back the way it was but better.

just checked out your build for the first time. you are a little uncoventional and that is awsome. why drive what eveyone else drives when you can drive your own. NICE JOB

[DTB]

nice jackstands!

[BUDDERS]

I'm interested to see what kind of work you have to do to get those frenched hangers in there...

He is inboarding the springs so he will probably just use the frenched hangers as a mount without installing them in the frame rails.

[BUDDERS]

Cool, should get some sweet flex then

time to get wrenching before it turns into a big green lawn ornament

thats what the wife keeps saying. i have been put on hold due to cold weather and caging the bmw from page one or two. i can get pics of that though. 2" chromealy is a pregnant dog to make a tight fitting cage out of. also has to be 100% tig welded.

[boggerunner]

nice, i have never tried tig, but i can barely mig so i wont even try, so what else are u doin to the beemer, twin turbos?

[yotadork83]

its a bmw m5 and stock it comes with over 500 poines. its not mine i am doing it for a engineer at work. he actually just bought a new corvette Ls7 motor or somthing like that and he bought a new viper six speed to go behind that. he wants to be able to go over 200 mph

[gotrocks]

he's putting those in the M5?

Why not just soup up the v8 in the BMW?

[yotadork83]

it's a dry sumped slant 6 not a v8.

[boggerunner]

beemer straight 6 in a toy, now that would be cool

  So what new on the propane 7M, have you got hold of them? and whats the pro's on going to propane besides running on you side, EFI does that too, is it ligter? If i'm not mistaken doesn't rob HP too? seems like alot of people are going that route, and I know nothin about it!!

[yotadork83]

propane is 100 to 110 octane, burns cleaner, doesent leave carbon deposits. no fuel pump needed and if it will work it will eliminate most of the wireing which is a plus for me becuase i hate wiring. nothing on figureing it out i have been working on the bmw to much and have pics just working on it right now and i have to resise them so i can post them.

[yotadork83]

i talked to kerry at got propane to day and he said 100% positive it will work ok. the only thing i will have to figure out is how to make spark without the computer.
