i have heard from someone doing a V8 conversion on a hilux (lion 253) that he needs an lpg setup on the car to pass over the pits(car is currently unlicenced). his reason is that any V8 conversion (where there was never a V8 model in production) now needs one...

is this a case of misconception or is it true

if this is true this is really guna fuck me up eh, my V8 cant run on gas :puke

plus its guna cost another $1700 plus having a but ugly tank behind the rear seat!!!

no it's not the case......

but the motor or car needs to have all the emission control set-up of it's year....what ever is newer

eg. a '89 motor into a '70's car you would use the motors year.....or a '70's motor into a '85 car you would use to 1985 emission control set-up..... follow ?

So putting an old 253 into a hilux would be hard to put the right E/control on so it easyer to run Gas.....😉
