Should  have an IMPCO 425 carb adapter thing that flows 394 CFM

then trick is to advance timing by 10 degrees remove the vacuum hose and run cooler grade of spark plug

need to call them I reckon....

In all honesty find a lpg specialist and spend a grand to get a propper system suited to your vehicle.

£1800 just for parts, and locally no-one wants to fit it either

I stand corrected (it was about 6 months ago):

Thank you for your mail,
It is no problem to supply a full kit for your Jeep – at this engine size and 300hp, you have two options – you can use and Italian based kit with special high output components to suit your carb/engine setup or the American made Impco system. The Italian system is excellent quality and will work fine with this power but will be at the top end of its working range. The Impco kit is specially designed for large engines and is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of kits for this type of application.
With a cylinder tank upto 90ltr (other/bigger tanks are available), the Italian kit will cost £550 + vat and the Impco based kit will cost £850 + vat, both kits will contain all you need for the conversion with good instructions and any advice/backup you may need.
 
You can see various kits in our on-line store (the exact kit you need is not shown as it is not so common but it will give you a good idea) ;

unless you can get a deal on a uber clean injection kit from Howell this is your best best and will give you slightly cheaper motoring :icon_super:

If you can't afford to put petrol in it you should get a suzuki sj, it may be more reliable aswell  :hysterical:
