Default 3.5 V8 carb lpg conversion - help

"LOOTA" wrote in message
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


I've got a V8 carb kit car that I converted myself with a kit from RPi.
Absolute doddle and it runs like a dream. Admittedly the instructions
were a bit ropey but RPi were very helpful, and so were this crowd on
this forum. Someone (Mr Shackles I think) even sent me a tuning guide on
email. In fairness, although RPi's kit was excellent, I'd recommend
browsing through this forum a bit and trying a couple of places. I quite
like the look of Chris Perfects kit with the economax gadgety-thingy.
