Surprised you haven't been burnt yet. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=132356

Need a V8 K frame, gearbox crossmember, tailshaft, radiator, dash calibration and wiring job. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=132356

And an engineers cert

Start with na VL V8 and you don't need a certificate.

No engineeres required I beleave as Vl came out in v8 n I had one n changed engine numbers over at vic roads n nothink mention..

Vn-vs 5litre motors are all the same, yes they all fit in a vl. just the computers (ecu) are different. Run a vn computer as they are easier to work with and wire up.

U need an engineers as the vl came out in a v8 carby not fuel injected v8 I had a very long discussion with vicroads engineers on this subject

To go injected u need engineers and full pollution to the letter of the law but allot of guys get away without it

Are these rules different from state to state?And if it has something to do with power as some HDT's came out with more KW than the Walkinshaw(ours was 196kw from HDT)And I know they went up to 245kw for the strokers(5.6 litre) Cheers Marty

I drove into vic roads just to try to change engine number it originally was a 6 and I converted to an 8 lady came out changed the number didn't even ask a question.
