Between $1200 and $1500 is the quotes I've got. The $1500 one included a RWC as well.

I'm pretty sure I could put any engine in my cars and the people at Vicroads wouldn't have two clues if it's the correct engine or not. So long as they can find the number to record they should be happy.

The only proviso I guess is that you don't fit a 350 small block. Anyone (even the morons they seem to always hire at Vicroads) is going to know exactly what a small block is .... and the fact the car isn't a chev :) Everyone fitting them to so many makes of cars has made them too identifiable.

You could get lucky and do that I think, but I also know some Vicroads people are very astute, so it would be pot luck.

Could be worth a shot... Worst case is they realise what it is and send you off for the VASS certificate.

It's all irrelevant now anyway, just went down to offer the bloke some cash to take it off his hands, but in my caution-inspired absence, he's apparently sold it and the buyer has paid.

Either that or he's seen my posts here and doesn't want me to knock him down any more. Shame, i've now got a big bunch of yellow in my wallet and it's a Friday night...

Bugger. :(

There's always the next one.:)

Noted for next time, however if I don't find a suitable S3 before July, there's one of a couple of '87 Range Rovers I may consider. Wife seemed to make more receptive noises when I showed her a picture than she did with the 109...
