I wonder how popular it might be if GM or Ford offered a V8 on LPG as an option for their cars?? Similar power and less cost, always nice.
Holden currently have discrete VIN Numbers and Engine Numbers to identify the Dual Fuel V6 Alloytec that is installed at the Factory.

I am to understand that the factory assembled Alloytec V6 has 'hardened' valve components for the dual fuel. There may be other hardware bits too.

I'm sure that Holden will ensure that the V8 engines to be used for dedicated LPG will be also identified as appropriate.
