From HeepJ4000:
Did run the 360 engine in my 73' j4000 on propane with a impco kit as a daily for thirteen years.
And also run on highway speeds on hot days.
Did run it a couple times overheated when the radiator lost a lot of cooling fins.
It was a good used and sometimes abused engine ,but never gave me trouble with a head or head gasket.
It finally stopped running on all eight cylinders and after a compression test it barely had any compression left , so parked the truck before destroying the engine.
Later on pulled the engine and I'm now working on it to have a Cummins 12 valve diesel engine.
