May kaibigan ako yon F-150 na total wreck he converted it to diesel engine.
Lahat palit wiring etc. prop shaft palit. Engine nya 4DR6 ok naman sobrang bagal nga lang tapos yon Diff. palit din. cost around 200K

4DR6 di ba 3.0L engine yun na Normally Aspirated....hmmm thanks for the opinion

Yup parang 3.0L yata... not sure... 24volts pala yon he replce the alternator para maging 12 volts...

Ford diesels are relatively guzzly, but then again, they're 6 liters or more... :lol:

But I imagine even if the vehicle uses the turbodiesel V8, it's lighter than the heavy-duty pickups or the Excursion that use the engine, so it'd probably get 5-7 km/l on diesel. Which ain't that bad, considering the price of diesel.

And it's 325 hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque... untuned. Some of those bad boys produce over 400hp when you start tinkering with them...

Guys I have a xpe that I'm considering to install a LPG kit instead but I'm not sure if it's available locally or if anyone here had already try such.

But in other countries I read many Landcruiser with V8 4.7L engine was coupled with LPG kits.

I've seen a F150 converted to lpg. Since they have the same engine with the xpe, it should work. You have a choice of putting the tank in the trunk and loosing your trunk space or going with a torodial tank and giving up your spare tire.

Check in the work shop there is a very imformative thread about lpg conversions.
