Default Re: Propane Conversion to the 4.7L

I wondered if anybody has found out more about this since this thread was posted? I have had 3 vehicles that I converted to propane but they all had carborators so this was quite easy. They could also go back and forth between gas and lpg. It was fun to get my emission test and watch the folks stare at results wondering what was wrong with their equipment. One guy remarked that he had never seen such low emission on a vehicle before, and this was an '86 F150.

I would like to do this to my 2001 Tundra but being fuel injected it is not as easy to make the conversion. I believe it requires a new computer to regulate injectors. Don't know if you need new injectors or if you still run off of gas or lpg with just fuel shutoffs and some sort of switch for the computer. Given that it is a bit of pain to find propane while traveling across the West, I probably won't consider the conversion if I can't retain the option to run off gas. Does anybody know a website to find this equipment?
