if they forgot the piston rings you need to find you some new engine guys. seriously piston rings is like step 2 of reassembly. step 1 is making sure you have your piston rings.

*drools*

oh and the holley 770 street AVENGER is a nice touch

man, we all have to drive and see this beast running.

when you get larger rims you also gotta worry about the speedometer being off "oh sorry officer i thought i was going 65 not 70" a friend of mine had a mustang and took it from the stock 15" rims to 20" rims....and got pulled over going what he thought was "just a little over" ended up being like 8 over what he thought.

let us know what you find, it sounds interesting. though as i said, i've only seen it done with diesel.

on a side note, i love diesels. you can put ANYTHING into a diesel, propane, N02, hydrogen, veggie oil.

i actually don't like the carbon fibre look, it screams rice, yes it can be done well, (Bad Venge's is a pretty good example). so if you're going to go with carbon fibre, don't just slap on random carbon fibre parts.

i would take James's advice and wait til you get the kit to paint it to make sure its all done right. unless its going to be like 4 years til you get the kit....then go for it.

any particular reason you went with the shift boot rather than the plate? cause unless im mistaken they have the exact same shift plate.

i've seen a car run off of CNG(compressed natural gas) so i suppose propane wouldnt be too much differnt

i'd just hate to have to fill up at "blue rhino" 

i believe him, i just wanna see the runs 

yeah, i've only seen propane done with diesels, so if you wanna give it a try, be careful!!

hydrogen is actually viable, i know this site sounds like B.S. but one of my instructors made something similar and it works

http://water4gas.com/2books.htm

basically you take a jar(or multiple jars for better results) put an anode and a cathode in(stainless steel wire works best) and put electricty to it, it splits the water into H and O and pipe it into your intake(if you have any kind of forced induction put it before that  to it still pulls a vacuum) for a diesel you're done, for a gas engine you need to trick your sensors to use the hydrogen more effeciently.

good luck, if you get internet access at any point drop us a line.

lets see some time slips then....or better yet, some vids of your runs.

ONLY GET A MINI IF THERE IS A MINI DEALERSHIP NEARBY

seriously, mini's are almost impossible to work on yourself and only the MINI dealer will have the special tools required. if the mini dealership is within a short drive, GO FOR IT, they're alot of fun, and get crazy good gas milage (if you keep your foot out of it)

too bad, cause that woulda been cool

?
i get no response.....

SE 2.7L V6
SXT 3.5 V6
R/T 5.7 HEMI
SRT8 6.1 HEMI

with the MDS on the 5.7 it gets the same milage as the 3.5 V6

if you do more city, the 3.5 will save you more, if you do more highway the 5.7 is the way to go

and the SXT(3.5) and R/T(5.7) are available in AWD
