I ran my rock buggy's old SBC off 'pane for a few years, using the standard Vff30 / Model E / Impco 425 on a q-jet baseplate & forklift tanks, and then re-curved the distributor advance to take advantage of pane's burn characteristics and get some power back. (Didn't bother upping the compression since it was a throwaway engine) I later upgraded to a more modern engine and now run EFI gasoline though, since it came with the engine.

I didn't realize they are using port-injection with 'pane - that's too cool!! My buddy that runs a dyno tuning business would LOVE to get his hands on that!
