It sounds to me like an air leak at idle. Usual symptoms are fine running at speed when the quantity of extra air won’t make a difference but at idle it significantly weakens the mix. A place worth checking is the brake servo. It draws its vacuum from the manifold and any leaks in the diaphragm will dilute the mixture. A simple test is to block off the pipe and see if matters improve.
I did quite a few LPG conversions on 300's in the 80's Very successful , I still have the parts in the attic with the torpedo tank , as they were removed when it became uneconomic in the 90's , it would be transformed these days with electronic control and a low pressure turbocharger ...
