301 LP engine on gasoline

Posted by Dan Dargeloh on February 27, 2007 at 13:58:23 from (65.245.176.200):

I have a 806 gas tractor with a tired engine. I also have a UC301 LP engine. It is stock bore with just a very slight amount of bore wear. The pistons are the #392838-R1 slugs rated at 8.7 to l cp ratio. I am going to freshen it up as it has set for awhile. New rings, bearings and a valve job and it will be like new. Will it run on pump gas alright, or should I install a new set of pistons for a regular gas engine? There is a noticeable difference in the depth of the crater on the lp pistons versus the gas pistons. Is there any differece in the combustion chamber volumnes between the gas head and the lp head? I would like to use the lp head if possible, because I believe it would have better valve seats for the unleaded gas we have to use these days. The tractor will be used as a loader tractor, so it has to be dependable and able to handle a load. Also, are the lp pistons worth anything? I know they are no longer available. What about the lp intake and exhaust manifolds? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
