i was wondering can natural gas be ran in 3rd gens? if so what do you need to convert it over?

never mind way to much work involved and no power then kinda changed plans going to build dyno truck, drag racer,sled puller guess its not a daily driver any more

Yeah, I know it costs $10,000 to convert gassers to CNG, that would take a while to make your money back.

It can be used as a fumigant, in the same way propane is used. It has a higher autoignition temp, so you can get away with higher compression and more timing before preignition. I think you need more to get the same amount of power, though...

Now, if you wanted to totally convert it to natural gas (like the gas 5.9 liters that come from the factory), then you're looking at spark plugs, a distributer, and low-comp pistons.

What does Cummins use to throttle natural gas based on boost pressure?
