Anyone on Propane?

Thinking about a propane mixer for a motor. One of those common carbs that looks like a carb hat with a gas inlet. Anyone run one or have knowledge of them from a forklift? Saw the hot bench pic of all the Chrysler motors getting run in on propane(?) and it intrigued me for a test stand running a wideband so as to get the A/F right off the bat.

Chrysler "dry tests' the engines on propane so they don't have to scrap out as many parts when they tear down the test engines...

If they used gas, the fuel system would be 'wet' with residual gas and they would have to treat any component that touched gas as a hazard... By using propane, the fuel systems are dry and they can recycle the parts on another engine...
