From a practicality standpoint I would agree.
FYI I think adapters are generally no good for manual applications, I
believe if it's worth doing a custom bellhousing is in order. If the
space permits a scattershield style housing is probably the least
expensive way to go for a one-off if a standard hydroformed dome will
be drillable and have the right distance. Since we no longer have a job
shop foundry industry in the US to speak of and since automotive people
have a mysterious genetic inability to understand basic concepts like
"draft" and "shrink rule" the simple expedient of making up a pattern
and having ye olde sand crab house ram it up and pour it is no longer
feasible.

From a fuel availability standpoint LP Gas is not a practical daily
use fuel in the United States. But the average person willing to think
a little and follow the clear, explicit directions need not worry too
much about blowing himself up with propane. Bill OTOH probably would
blow himself and his house to kingdom come, because as he has shown he
cannot and does not learn anything new.
Propane motor fuel is common in every other country in the world,
practically. and people are not blowing themselves up at any notable
rate. Propane calamities in the US usually involve barbecue grills or
houses owned by retards who sue the propane industry after the fact
because a few sleaze bag lawyers take the cases on contingent fees
figuring propane insurors would pay off quietly with hush money. They
were for quite awhile, but the imploding interest rates (and consequent
skyrocketing premiums) saved them from themselves.

Gasoline is still the cheapest cleaner we may buy. And I have fire
insurance.

Fire insurance isn't much good if you are dead, or have to do six months of
rehab. :o(
You will find a way to disagree with anyone, won't you?

My Jeep fire extinguisher is always beside me:
http://www.----------.com/extingui.jpg along with a water hose with
nozzle placed in an area I can find blind. If I have to work inside,
(that's very rare) it's fan ventilated, and all doors and windows are
open to keep the roof from being blown off.
Yes, I do like to argue. :-)
