Its not worth it. They work on two different principals of internal combustion. The cost of doing so would be a lot more than just buying/building a new gasoline engine. But if you needed to, you would have to change :
-The headers
-The sparkplugs
-the pistons
-the camshafts
-the carburetors
The engine block would be the only thing left, and most of the parts i have listed would have to be custom made or adapted to fit, at great expense
