Another Newbie From Caanada

[NonProfit (Hans Riem)]

Welcome George,

Although many types of vehicles have been successfully gasified, for a long time, the Dodge Magnum 5.2/5.7/V10 was the go-to engine of choice. As those vehicles are becoming more difficult to locate, we’re hoping to pivot to a newer platform, and Chevy’s LS looks promising.

@Chris

Anything from 1999-2006 is going to have the non-AFM LS engines. A few nuances will push you towards 2003-up. You have four engine sizes to pick from, 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 8.1L.

I don’t know if anyone has even tried with an '09.
