yea, i've run propane on my 5.0 for a year or so, i kinda did a custom rig. solenoid from ebay, steel braided line from lowes, and the fittings. then just hooked up a propane bottle to the solenoid input, a hose from the output to my intake, and trial and error to tune it (not the best way) but it worked. i gained 53 horses that way off of a slightly modified 5.0 (intake , exhaust, ignition msd) if you like to tinker with engines and know how yours works and "breathes" then do it, otherwise i dont know if someone has a better way of doin this.
but Good luck

There are alot of people who own vipers who switch to propane injection. My best guess is to look on their forums and read on how some of the guys do it.

Propane is much lower flash point than diesel so when you are using propan injection you are also advancing the injection timing. Some people say that it car runs fast using this but it really burn out motors.
