Hello,
My name is Daan Holman and i'm from the Netherlands, i'm 31 years of age and at this moment i'm restoring ( body off) an original 1972 pontiac firebird formula 455HO.
The engine is beiing build by Ken's Speedshop in Florida USA:
455 bored 0.30
7F6 heads flowed to about 280/310
6.8 BBC h beam rods
All pontiac forged krukas (3,25 main 4.28 stroke)
Mel. 60 psi oil pump
Competition custom grind camshaft
Competition retro roller hyd. lifter set
Moly pushrods
1.67/16 roller rockers
Bgi 220 fuell pump
Csi electric waterpump
v8-71 roots blower
Before the engine was rebuild my car drove on an impco LPG system but i wanted to know if it's possible with the settup for the engine to run it on LPG witH?? 2 impco 425 mixers or something like that and if someon did it already ( probably will but you guys are a bit further with LPG then we're in the Netherlands.)
Every information is welcome.
Thanks and happy hollidays.

Daan,
Great to see someone popping over here from so far away.
You may get an answer here, but also try your luck at www.aussiev8.com.au (http://www.aussiev8.com.au)
Copy this whole thread and put it in the "Conversions and Rebuilds" section. There is some very knowledgable people with LPG over there!

Try to obtain the OHG 450 mixers instead if you want to go the mixer route.
You can modify the metering jets on them too to get more out of em.
What I would recommend though is liquid injection.
Because your in Europe it should be easier to find someone who knows about it.
I buy eurogas vapour injection which is made in the netherlands.
My advice would be to go for liquid injection running any good engine management to control it.
Icom in italy build a good injection system but there are companies all over Europe playing with it.
Liquid injection will yeild greater power outputs too as the cooling of the intake charge as the LPG is injected can act as a intercooler on boosted engines.
Its the way to go for sure, its just gonna need someone highly knowlegable in engine manegment mapping and LPG.
