Vaguely OT but close to many hearts here - LPG conversions

I've just had a couple of places draw breath when asked for a price for an
LPG conversion for my LS400.

Is there any particular reason why an LPG conversion for an early 90s
Japanese V8 would cost so much more (£2000-2500) than the same conversion
for any mark of Discovery?

It's a V8.

It's got electronic fuel injection

So?

Any ideas anyone, or failing that pointers at trusted LPG installers who
will deal with saloons?

has it got plastic inlet manifold(s), which pretty much means you need SGI
on it?

If not, then I don't see why you can't, with suitable protection for the
expensive bits in the inlet tract, fit a closed loop single point.
