There was one on Ebay about a week ago, he wanted $2500, from memory they said it only had about 120000km on it.
It can be pretty difficult finding second hand parts for them.

x2. Will be easier and cheaper than an efi motor swap especially if they are still offering a subsidy on the LPG install in Qld (pretty sure they are).

once you get to the 3000 buck mark you may as well get a 4.5 conversion
they are a way better thing
more power
better fuel consumption
good on angles and better in water that the 3f
