Should do a search mate as its been covered,but if you want injection you will need VN heads,inlet manifold,cam,injectors,tank,computer,an electrician etc,I did one years ago and thought is was easier to sell the carby donk and buy an efi donk and have it dropped in,you shouldnt need a certificate because its already V8

depending on where you are, you may well need to get it engineered. I looked into dropping a VN 5ltr motor into my car, and it was stupid what they wanted me to go through to get the thing legally registered. Thats QLD for you though.
