Any Gas 'Lodges with Ford Super Duty 534 V-8?

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

--- George:
Any thoughts to converting that ford gas engine to LPG???
About 60% of cars in Australia are converted....in fact LPG is at
most all gas staions here..USA is well behind in this area, but I
imagine as gasoline goes up more, perhaps more will convert...it is
cheap.....costs about $2000 to convert here..it is pretty simple..get
a big stainless steel tank and some fixings and done!!
problem in USA is finding places to "fill up!"
