I live in the Netherlands. So I bought all my parts over here.

there are two great websites for America:

alternatives fuels:
http://www.rasoenterprises.com/

alternatives fuel forum with Propane department:
http://fuelsforum.rasoenterprises.com/

webshop:
http://autoparts.rasoenterprises.com/

There is really good information on their website and forum.
On the forum FRANZ and STEPTOE are real guru's.

My setup is pretty simple:

IMPCO425 carb on the throttleplate of my Quadrajet 4bl.
the IMPCO gets is propane from an type-E Evaporator from IMPCO

ask for a conversion advise on the forum and I am very sure they can help you.

I have a 100liter tank under the rear of my Burb. there is a 80% filling safety so I can get only 80 liters in it.

I get about 3.7 km/l (~9 mpg)

so my maximum radius is 80x3,7 = 296 km ~ 184 miles
