AFVTech working on CNG-powered, 600 hp 1933 Ford Roadster

Take something old – in this case, a 1933 Ford Roadster body – and make it into something new – a CNG-powered, 600 hp beast, perhaps. That's what's happening over at AFVTech, which is prepping the hot rod for the upcoming Alternative Fuels and Vehicles Institute expo that's coming in May. The company is using what President Kevin Fern called the "Natural Drive dedicated EPA-certified CNG retrofit systems" for clean-burning 600 horsepower. The conversion uses a modified General Motors LS7 7-liter V8 engine (used in the Chevrolet Corvette Z06), a six-speed transmission, drive-by-wire controls and ABS disc brakes.

too bad the EPA blocks people in this country from converting their vehicles to CNG. you can buy the honda civic CNG, that's it. or pay through the nose for professional conversion approved by the EPA. but there are only a few places and kits that are approved.
