Well i reckon you're right there Dave..............but allowing that LPG has a higher RON you can get some really use full power out of it............BUT, you gotta be prepared to right some seriously high compression ratios. To work well apparently you need something around 13.5 to 14.5:1 and cams to go with it. That done I understand that its also very hard on the engine with very regular rebuilds needed.

I have built a few engine on pure gas. I wouldn't go higher than 11:1. Retime the dizzy, special cam grind. I just like LPG, because it's cleaner, no moving parts, no fuel pumps, crank, airflow, throttle position, map sencors etc. Also If you don't drive it much, the fuel won't go of and attract moisture etc. Oil stays cleaner, plugs don't foul. I just don't like the smell. And with a 4 barrel manifold and a 425 Impco mixer and a big aircleaner, it'll look like a carby engine. If done right, it's very reliable.

I had a WB ute years ago with an L34 5ltr on LP, lots of compression (11:1), a good cam, revised ignition and it was awesome.
Used an awesome amount of fuel too!

I sold it to a guy on the NSW/QLD border somewhere, it was white with a blue pearl, very low with wide interceptor rims. Would love to get my grubby hands back on it again!
