The overflow bottle is just a new EA one from Ford spare parts. It did cost about $120 though.

Well here is a quick pic of mine, nothing really to see here... Just another messy Wheezer.

I recently added GT40p heads, HM Headers (sound shit but needed them for the spark plug angle)
Big MAF, GRA LPG (more cluttering up of the engine bay, Thermos, Explorer manifold...
All the usual eb-el upgrades. Next step is find a good second hand engine and reco it to suit straight gas and some boost :)

Inside mate. Strong caustic cleaner > then high pressure hot wash > then acid > then hot wash = mint

That looks bizarre dude. I still cant get used to the idea of getting rid of my manifold and injection. What did you do with all the associated injection looms etc? Did you just simply chop them/unplug or neaten them up? What is still required when running straight LPG?


i ditched the EFI gear for a weiland duel plain manifold only to run straight gas , i have a bigger/better manifold waiting to be delivered (new engine needs to Breathe )
Image
all the wiring still remains , its just neat n tidy behind the air cleaner . the only sensors hooked are the 2 TpS and temps ( only the 2 tps's are reqiured for straight gas .
As some of you guys may know my LTD got written off the other week . but all this work is not gone :D
