3.5 V8 carb lpg conversion - help

om...
I've got an ex met police riot bus LDV LWB twin rear 400, twin carb,
no cat, 22k miles c/w 3.5 V8, a sweet runner returing 17-20mpg, which
compares favourably with plenty of R/rovers. However, she's an obvious
LPG/dualfuel candidate.
I've been told that being carb she has to have an induction type
system which, unless fitted by someone with a lot of experience,
could mean I sacrifice a lot of good things for a lot of hassle.
Any pitfalls, stuff to watch out for - please let me know.
Also, any potential installers out there with plenty of experience on
this engine, get in touch.......ta. LOOTA
What they said.......
The Rover v8 is a peice of pee to convert, with carbs you have 2 mixers, and
a 'y' peice in the pipe from the vaporiser, everthing else is the same as
any other engine.
Being a van type thingy makes it even easier, as you have acres of flat
floor to bolt the tanks too, either underneath, or in the back, and you will
also have loads of room under the bonnet for the gubbins.
