propane or efi?

[yotacrawler1]

im new to this this will be my first post lol but ive been wheeling and wrenching for a longg time.
i have an 85 shortbed pu
im still running the 22r and so of course im thinking of an efi swap but than i started hearing good things about propane
most kits are bolt on which is alot easier than doing a 22re swap. i still dont know alot but tell me what you think propane or efi? im still trying to decide

Propane buy far. Its essentially fuel injected, just under vapor pressure not electric or mechanical.

I have it in mine and LOVE it.

Are gonna keep it street legal ?  Can't smog it on propane.     If your not keeping it on the street, then I say propane

I'm running propane, street legal, but of course, we have no smog laws in AL.  Actually got pulled over my a cop once (improper tag placement of all things) and he sat and BS'd with me for a good 10 minutes about the fact I was running propane and he thought it was cool.

Regardless of all that though, I LOVE the propane setup.  I have not yet had it stall, or even hint at any kind of fuel problem since I made the switch.

CA steet legal? Not propane! lol you will never be able to get it by the ref.

i could always just smog it with all my carb 22r on than once i pass swap it all back over? hahah from what i hear its not that long of a swap.

I plan on buying myself a propane kit for my birthday... this just talked me into it.  i was thinking about starting the same thread then i seen this one  how do you know when your running low on propane a pressure gauge?

[yotacrawler1]

i assume a pressure gauge right off the tank would work. gotpropane.com also sells a hybrid kit if u want to run propane and gas. which i think would be awesome

Swapping crap every 2 years is not the way to do it, in my opinion.  Been there done that, and trust me, you will hate it.  No one should have to mess with their daily that much.

Yea my fuel system is filled with demons. in the past year ive went through 3 fuel pumps 5 or 6 fuel filters and drained the tank completely still having issues and i only drive my truck wheelin so ive put about a 1000miles on it this last year.. haha so im going for propane once i get the money.

if your running to dual setup(gas and propane), you can get it smogged. Just gotta put the stock intake on.
