Do the heads on early V8s need hardened valve seats for them to run on LPG straight? (as in a dedicated LPG setup)

Simple answer is no
Any v8 rover motor was fitted with hardened valve seats and can be run ,depending on compession ratio on most fuels.
I have used leaded, unleaded ,premium unleaded, lpg without any motor problems after 300k

But Brad, you're in Perth, that counts as highway milage - no stop starting.

Last year I went over to Perth to visit Brad - OK, I went on holiday but ended up having dinner with Brad :roll:

We left Sydney on Thursday morning on a non-stop flight and arrived in Perth on Sunday arvo.

At least it seemed like Sunday arvo - there was bugger all traffic in the Perth CBD. Lucky mongrels. And to think I moved from Carnarvon (WA) to Sydney in the 70's instead of moving to Perth.
