Early model s/c statesman ,
Can anyone tell me if I can run LPG through the s/c without any problems.

We have heard of 3 Super6 Vehicles around Australia being fitted with successful LPG Gas conversions. Although in a situation of potential Back-Fire there could be some serious damage, there hasn't been any reports of a backfire yet, so although it is potentially risky there seems to be a few prepared to take the risk in search of greater mileage.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tonsta,
It was just a thought .The S/C V6 was going into a 2001 Rodeo with a gas system installed by Holden.
I might have to look at injection.
Cheers,
Doug

ive seen a roadster with a roots blower backfire.... thats what the straps on the sides are for... to hold the thing down from flying bout 10 meters from the car when it happens

what made you choose the s/c v6 in the rodeo???

The Rodeo had a 3.2 V6 with a rod hangin outa the side.I have the chance to buy a Commodore S/C V6 to put init. I found a low mileage unit that had a bit of an oil problem (Rock hit sump) but the old farmer stopped it before it locked up.Holden replaced it with a crate motor.
So while I have the chance lets make this Rodeo Dance !!! Thanks for the interest

how come u dont buy another 3.2 litre as they are much better engines.... supercharge that instead

would produce alot more power

Yeah I know I could have fixed the Rodeo V6 ,but I just like the old Com V6.
The Rodeo block survived but it has a 5 cent size hole just above where the sump bolts on .I can easily weld that up for anyone who wants it.
And did you know that a Com V6 T5 bolts streight up to the 3.2.Same bolt pattern.
So I have a 3.2 motor and auto trans if you know anyone who might want it.
Cheers,
Doug.
