Toyota HiLux: Can I convert it to LPG?

I'm looking at getting a late '90s Toyota Hilux and I'd like to know if it would run on LPG.

It is if it has a 2.2-litre or 2.4-litre engine, but not if it’s got a later 2.7-litre engine. The valve train in the smaller engines are fine for LPG, but the later 2.7-litre engine had a valve train that wasn’t suited to LPG and gave head problems until updated in the early 2000s.
