D4/LR4 5.0 V8 - Is LPG possible?

Hi All,
I'm currently in the Middle East and considering bringing back our LR4 5.0 V8 with us when we return to UK next year, given that fuel will no longer cost 40p a litre I am looking for advice about whether it is possible to convert the 5.0 engine for LPG?
Thanks,
Dave.

Welcome Dave.

In a word "Yes" - you could do worse than start here:-

I think you can LPG virtually any petrol engine as long as you have space for the tank and use valve fluid if the valve seats are soft.

I converted my 4.4 myself without too much trouble - hardest part was mounting the tank.

Having done more research and talked to a number of installers and importers, the answer is yes despite the 5.0 being a direction engine, although the consensus seems to be that Prins VSI 2 is the only option.
All good news as it makes bringing the car back possible 8)
thanks for the pointers!
