RowdyRebel Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The Russians put only gasoline engines in their trucks for a long time - they figgered they could be serviced by people that can not read - you know, a gas engine will run if it gets electricity and fuel - cleaning a carburetor is easy compared to taking an injection pump apart (putting it together, actually!). Plus, a gas engine could be made to run on alcohol - that starts a wholly new subject in the apocalypse subject, doesn't it? Have a nice dayPawełDukes of Hazzard had an episode where they were running engines with Uncle Jessie's moonshine....

burnin oil Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 When I was in high school I knew a guy who tried to run Everclear through his Ford one night after running out of gas. Key word tried. It would still start, smoked like crazy and wouldn't move under its own power after that. From memory it was a 351 mod motor.

41chevy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 sounds like that would make an awesome truck with the updates you spoke of. I have seen some of the 4x4 clubs have been buying duece and a halfs and cutting the rear axle off and shortening the frame which leaves them with a hell for stout pickup.Here is a few of our rigs Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24783-multi-fuel-milatry-engines/page/2/#findComment-116772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
