USA EPA regulations hamper legal aftermarket conversion "kits". That would be one reason.

can log be installed on other common engines for Ls ot its impossible? Are they with double injectirs per cylinder like my gs? My gs have 12 injectors and its v6 engine.
as soon as i find the right car i will bring it for nederlands lpg system.

the people from the yourube movie are from ireland which is outside Eu and far away. So all 460 can be converted?

I've never seen this discussed here before. You'll likely have better luck asking a conversion shop in your country. My 2013 LS has both Direct and EFI injection, one of each per cylinder. I imagine you'd find that changing the multiple computer control systems to LP would also be a challenge. As another member mentioned, Middle Eastern market LS use a different engine.

There are several shops here in Poland that have done both the 460 and 600. It'll cost you though as you must get a newer generation kit that has its own LPG fuel injector rail due to direct injection. Totally doable.
