Hey i have a few years ago done a mates one we fitted - New camsaft grind to suit LPG , refaced lifters (made it super quite ) but a big job head off etc
- Extractors , 2 & 1/2 inch exhaust - dont go straight through not enough back pressure
- Hi energy igntion form performance ignition in nunawading vic
- Impco 300A mixer and L model LPG converter
It went real well and heaps better on gas consumption too, hope this helps. We did all this because it blew a head gasket .
