Can I just make a comment as a recent "convertee" to LPG in my AUII V8 ute. Unless you are going to:
a. Drive the wheels off the thing
b. Convert to Seq Vapour Injection (not the "standard" LPG systems like on my Falcone)
.. I wouldn't bother on a GenIII. LPG is nice at the pump when you do lots of k's (like my wife does in the ute), but it does take the edge off a nice car. The ute LPG conversion is good, but the car still hunts about at idle, is noticably down on power, and just has some little issues which would distress me if it happened with my SV8 (let alone a Calais).

Thanks for your comments,
I do about 50k a year, i want to run fully on LPG and tune it with edit, extractors, and cold induction, i am not sure if this will give me the power i want and the economy, interested to know if anyone has.
Thanks

Only way I would ever put an LS1/2 on LPG is by gas injection.

If you get the conversion I would be interested to hear how it goes. If Ford brings out LPG Turbo six this will be interesting.

Don't go anywhere else but Metro Autogas in Albion - 07-3256-0333

Knows his Holdens back to front, was authorised by Holden to fit the genuine option in V6s for over 13 years, and has done a Gen3 that I know of. He is also a died in the wool revhead and knows big horsepower and how to keep it.

Everyone else will pull your chain and dud you with bad advice and cheap and nasty equipment.

Expect a long waiting list!!!
