    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.

    Before accepting that I would just make sure the engine number in your old registration record is a LR engine number and not a Holden engine number. Remember back then Holden engine conversions had a class exemption on engineering, so often only the new engine number was recorded but the make of engine was often not.

    Correct, went through it a few times in 1970's, just show up at the local Police Station (Victoria), and the local policeman would just have to sight the new engine number then record it on some paperwork for the Motor Registration Authority. No focus at all on what type of engine it was, or if it was foreign to the vehicle it was now in.

    Cheers, Mick.

    In the old days some people would not bother changing engine number details with the main roads even if it was a change for the same make of engine. It was on there to do list but eventually forget about it. It only becomes a problem if they went to sell the vehicle would show up as no match , then as said it was only a matter of going to the police station & get it checked. 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.

    That all sounds a trifle weird, either it is the same TYPE (HP) of engine or it isn't, the Make really shouldn't enter into it IMHO.


    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?.
    Heaven forbid!
