You mean a CNG S10? Well, old GM engines have been reported in Brazil to be the ones which adjust better to CNG, yet some folks try too hard leaning the air-fuel ratio, increasing the likelihood to overhead and damage severely the cylinder head. BTW I remember reading something about some ambulances in India being fitted with CNG fuel systems because cold starts would be easier, as the fuel is already stored in vapour phase, while gasoline switching from liquid to vapour phase would be more difficult in a severely cold weather near the Himalayas.
