New to this site but found it very useful already!
My Name is Paul & I'm based in Adelaide.
Running a Dec 87 GQ LWB TB42 on gas with Holley 330cfm carby set up for gas.
2 inch lift & 33 muddies.
Just purchased 1990 GQ LWB TD42 complete wreck.
The plan is to do a petrol to diesel conversion when time permits.......
It will be sad to see the petrol go as it runs like a dream but Diesel is the only way to go!!!

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome aboard, and the project sounds great....

Even though I am a Diesel man myself, not sure if you are going to benefit so much from the changeover if yours is still running OK - you will find that you have slightly better fuel economy on Gas, and the servicing is cheaper.....

I can understand though....
