The MWC guys are great but I think I'd probably off myself if I had to live on flat land.

Southern Indiana is awesome, where I was in Pekin area, I didn't realize hilly the area was. There was a road in the Daisy Hill area that the speed limit was 40mph, it had sharp curves and elevation changes, I have no idea how anyone felt comfortable doing 40mph on it.

Where I live is very hilly with loose and rocks and bluffs.
where I wheel is very large hills and m y favorite one is large solid volcanic rock.
Ozarks FTW!

A buddy of mine sent me this. Quite interesting. Genset running on LP with switches for converting to natural gas. Manufacture date of 7/13, displacement of 4.4L and powering a 40kw generator. Looks a helluva lot like a 4.0 to me...

That is just neat. I wonder if its just a reman 4.0 motor. Looks cool tho.

Maybe a stroked 4.0? Not sure why they'd bother, 40kw is cake even for a stock 4.0, that's only 54hp.

I had started taking things into consideration for how they came up with 4.4L and came up with -.030 sleeves with a 249 crank or completely different internals since the 249 crank comes up with 4.5 with stock sized 4.0 pistons.
I'm not really hip on what power is necessary for what kind of wattage. Would there be any power loss having it converted to LP or natural gas? When I worked for a car/medium duty shop, we had done a couple CNG jobs on 6.0 LS blocks in a cab/chassis application. I imagine if there was a severe power loss, they would have easily been able to build the box/passenger compartment to accommodate for the loss of power.
And all in all, I don't know entirely what I'm talking about

Well, the 4.0 puts out like 190hp... I figure it could run a 54hp (even assuming 20% loss in the generator head and 50% power loss converting to propane, both of which are incredibly high losses, you'd still only need 135hp to run it) generator head no problem. In fact that's why I have a 15kw/18kw surge 240v generator head sitting in the basement waiting for me to have some time, except I plan to keep it gas powered.

Rimfire madness tomorrow morning, between other trips and things, I haven't done one of these since April or May. Helped me save ammo enough to do this one.
