    I think the nice term is "home grown"!! Wow, that is weird.  The tin 'block' with the Mopar sticker looks to be sitting over the normal carb intake opening, and those are obviously fuel lines plumbed to the two 'canisters' on the front, but if those are carbs I've never seen a street car with them before.  Perhaps a marine carb setup?  I can't see how that would constitute a six pack unless those canisters each contain a 3 bbl carb.....

    I look forward to someone identifying this for sure, defintiely one-of-one as far as I've seen.

    I had originally thought that first, and it might be, but the hose clamps through me off. I have only experience brass fittings with propane. It looks like ice water boxes installed to though, that's why I said hydrogen sprayed. But I am just not sure. Prob a special version of propane :dunno:

    LP gas mixers I'd say.
    Pretty popular down south but the Oz parts look very different yet sort of similar.
    The clamped hoses are water cooling for the mixers.

    Another view of the engine.....

    Propane setup! Confirm by the owner directly.

    So where did the owner's 'six pack' label come from?  Was that what he polished off when coming up with the plans for this setup?  I'd be curious to know the economics of running propane through a big block Mopar, could it really be less expensive than gasoline?
