Wharf don't waste your time with extended shackles, it is a dodgy old way of doing things, changes pinion angles, changes caster angle and makes car handle poorly. It is just wrong, my advise is don't do it.

If you're moving the tank anyway, just put whatever tank you want in there.

Do the suzuki engines need any headwork to run gas or are they good to go?

You need head work if your going to run BBQ bottle's.
Ally head's have valve insert's in em, all good for lpg, ulp.

Ive filled of a bbq bottle, not a good idea to strap em to the car tho & DOT won't like it much either.
