Springville, Alabama inventor breaks record with his wood-burning pickup

SPRINGVILLE, Alabama -- If Alabama State Troopers had asked Wayne Keith why he was running his 1993 Dodge Dakota pickup at 90 mph on I-59 in St. Clair County last week, his reply probably would have resulted in a Breathalyzer test.

His story of making a practice run for a land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats would have likely raised suspicion of a little too much barley and hops.

my understanding is it's a carb conversion for a regular engine, here is a pdf detailing converting a farm tractor
