Propane Fueled 361 FT Engine By Rollie H - 10/14/2001 2:24:48 AM; IP 64.12.103.24 I have discovered a 1978 Ottawa trailer mover (switcher) with a 1975 361 FT engine. Has D5TE-9425-TA cast into the intake manifold. This engine has an oil supply line running from the passenger side of the block to the air compressor for the air brake system. It also runs on propane. How can a propane fuel system be obtained for say a 1976 F100 with an FE engine? It looks simple enough at a glance, but I know there has to be more to it than I see. All I see is the propane tank of course with a line running to a regulator which is piped into the back of a throttle plate which looks very much like the base of a four barrel carburetor with linkage. There are wires running to what look like a soleniod and a couple of other devices. One peculiar thing I noticed about this engine (as if there aren't a bunch of peculiarities) is the vacuum advance on distributor is facing to the rear of the engine. I have no idea if this is someones mistake or a Ford heavy duty service distributor of some kind. Any information will be helpful Thanks in advance!

This thread, so far...
