It might be worth looking into if it isnt a rotten rustbucket. LP gas is an excellent fuel and makes the engine burn cleaner, last longer.

that reminds me of the time I had the opportunity to purchase a mid
60's electric Corvair Greenbriar van that was used in the underground roads of the US government in DC. The van was rust free, but had lots of dings & dents from over the years. I turned it down.

Last November AT&T in my area switched from dial up analog to dial up digital. WebTV is strictly dial up analog only. So, I called Comcast. Now I have Comcast triple play,,, telephone and TV and Internet. Yep, cuhulin, nowadays is Dhia Duit.

every seal will leak. you will not be happy with the results. Not a good buy unless you can get it for almost salvage price and have no risk if it doesn`t work out. KB

do you mean every seal on the motor???? they are no big deal to replace. I've owned several Corvairs and repaired them on all of them. Motors are easily removed as well, but removing the motor isn't required to fix the leaks.

Maby you enjoy pulling the pan to get the rear main but it a pain for me. Certianly would make it a poor deal, unless reeeeally cheep. KB
How's LP gas conversion affect the crank seals? Never heard that one.
*** I cant give you first hand knowledge, but it should be no worse than gasoline or diesel, and actually should be considerably better. You have no liquid phase of LP gas, or essentially none, nor is there a highly aromatic content (effect on aniline point) to muck with the rubber.
If anyone has a concise answer, let's hear from you.
Doesn't, but sitting for years certainly could.
Also, bearings in water pump, alternator (or generator, if it's never been converted) etc. are all suspect.

pulling corvair motors is no big deal. One person can have it out in
30 mintues. I've rebuilt a couple of corvair motors.. They are pretty easy IMO. I love that single cylinders can be replaced on these motors.I took my couch buddy doggy to the vet this morning, on the way there and b ack home I passed right by that propane place.I didn't see that 1964 Chevro let van sitting in that open shed where it had been there for at least thre e years. I think I will forget all about that van.I own a 1948 Jeep I ought to be working on.

reminds me of when I could have bought an AmphiCar for $1000 and didn't and I saw one sell at auction for $60K.

I had the exact same thought....
Sometimes I watch Mecum Auto auction on Comcast Xfinity TV Velocity channel. It is amazing the prices some of those cars sell for.
