It's not the fitting of the engine that would be the problem..... it is all the electrics that you would need to go with it..... :roll:

Anything is possible but the cost would be enormous. The engines in the Taxi are rear wheel drive but as others have said its the electrics that would cause a massive problem.

I would like to see a v6 non turbo petrol engine running on LPG. that would be ideal.
