Hi,
LPG conversion is usually simple to accomplish, around 2000 GBP. Where are you located?
Power increase - honestly, without serious changes in engine mechanics (other camshafts, other intake manifold, a.s.o) you won't get far. I would stay away from it, especially on a daily driver.

HI,
I am aware of a capable gas converter nearby Eastbourne in the south, that's where a friend of mine has bought his, already equipped with LPG. A bit far for you I fear?
We've bought a V8 in Derbyshire once, was the first RHD we've taken to Austria
