Thread: Urgent Help needed, 4.6L in an 85 Model Range Rover Classic

when i had my late 89 rangie with the injected p76 we didnt tell anybody that it was a larger capacity engine and the rego stayed at 3.5, with a replacement engine number on the paper work, a 4.6 is easier to disguise than a p76 with inlet manifold spacers, sorry cant help more

Thanks for that,

This is a blue slip rego, when you bring a car from interstate, so isnt that different?

Go somewhere else, there's plenty of shifty mechanics out there lol

The bloke sounds like he wants to be a PIA, the Rangie if I know the one was originally registerd in NSW with that engine fitted anyway so shouldn't be a problem.

Nice Rangie that one, know the bloke who owned it

Is it red? Think I know the car you're talking about, I commented on an FB post about it if it is that truck.

Over 15% capacity increase in NSW requires an engineer's report.

Most of the parts 4.6s did not have an engine number when they came to OZ so the seller would use the car's original engine number. Pity if the bloke then wanted to sell his old engine, but still probably cheaper than an engineer's report.

I have always been aware of this rule and it would be the first question I asked.

Yes, ex 4wd action build Rangie, My mate is the lucky one to end up with it, We found it trawling trough Gumtree, wasnt cheap, but worth every cent!

He is going to try a few different places tommorow
