[DeTomaso] NPC- No Tiger content -- Natural gas conversions

[Charles Engles]

Dear Lynn,

            I once attended a dyno session at a regional Ford 
Remanufacturer.  They were testing a Ford engine with CNG.   I was 
intrigued.   They told me it was a pretty straightfoward conversion.  The 
downsides were 20% less HP and the engineering question of where to put the 
CNG tank.....


                                  Good luck,  Chuck Engles
