Hi, I'm glad I found this poll, looks like I'm not the only one then.
I have had 8 or 9 V8's over the last 30 odd years (depends on how you count!)
3 x rover SD1 V8's
2 x Range Rover Classics (1 x 2 door and 1 x 4 door which I converted from 3.5 carb to 3.9 EFi - so that is 3 engines)
3 x P38 Vogue 4.6
Now I'm looking for a 110 Station Wagon V8, preferably with a ZF 4 speed Auto gearbox (rare as hens teeth I know) or I'll convert one myself, :hysterically_laughi if I ever find the time that is.
More power to you all!

i bort mi v8 fer a run about/stop gap... but fell fer it and its me babby now ... i wanna de-cat it but aint aving much luck as to how
SO come on fanatic... how do i do it? dunt need sensors cos its on gas

you sure your system lpg system doesn't use sensors for reference as many systems do.
Also all systems with pre cat lambda sensors and no post cat lambda sensors-will not notice failed/missing cat.
If you were to leave the lambda sensors in and remove the cats there should be still satisfactory back pressure with standard exhaust so as not to upset lambda sensor readings.
Standard cars do not like zero back pressure and it causes rich/lean swings-major back pressure changes would require custom map and will decrease performance without.
That said the ax I sold sounded nice straight through-but readings all over the place before replacing back box.

not sure about the lpg needing sensors its a single point system and ive have been lead to believe it dunt need sensors

What make is the control unit on your gas system, pretty sure you will need lambda sensors on all, but the redneck carb/lpg setup I have.
As I said before if no post cat sensors in system then it will not know if they are working or not.
Also consider that the ecu trims the fuel with lambda feedback.
So if you wished to run a decat system on petrol you wouldn't want to set it with fixed resistors as you would run rich/lean on standard map

And after you have spent hours lovingly caressing her every inch she will repay you in kind for your care and attention. As for the mrs well like all of them not from this planet.
Not very green is it? :blabla:
Who cares about fuel consumption and carbon foot print with that noise!
