Just on the same theme - the Haflinger Chassis number is in fact the gearbox number - change the gearbox and you have changed the chassis number - not sure how Aust authorities deal with that.

Well I exhausted all avenues Vic Roads finally found my vehicle ( different person on counter?) may have been the reason I don’t know. I was informed the vehicle had only been registered with a Land Rover engine so I will install the aforementioned 2.6 from donor vehicle. That being said I now find I have two Holden motors for sale a running (just) HR era 186 and a newer 179 12 port engine with Yella Terra stage three head.
Thanks again for all the assistance from AULRO members.

No focus at all on what type of engine it was, or if it was foreign to the vehicle it was now in.Quote:

If the vehicle stayed with the original owner since the engine swap , the problem arises these days with RWC's & Engineer's certificates .
Thanks for all replies, I did give them the Holden engine number and was informed it was not the number recorded on the last registration document. I was then informed I would need an engineers certificate to which I replied I was going to install a Land Rover engine the same as the vehicle was sold with. To which I was informed that I would just require a RWC so that is the direction I am going.

Stiil, my 2A had the original donk so this didn't matter in SA but the Reggo did, & that had expired, but no dramas if that person really wants to help you. My one did. May even be a LR nutter themselves?.[bigrolf]
Heaven forbid!
