gordon dont know what NSW rta are like but l had mine engineered and regoed in victoria
hr disc brake front end 186 red motor , all l needed was a two speed wiper motor retractable seat belts front and rear
no rust and all the other normal roadworthy stuff   $500 for the engineer

Hi what seat belts did you fit and how?

in NSW you can put a 138 red motor or a 149 red motor (if you can find one) without engineers report, BUT you will need an engineers report for the disc brake front so you might aswell do the bit extra work and engineer the engine aswell in theory you would need the report to cover the diff aswell
another thing if you go with a 202 aswell as the usual stuff for the engineers report you will also need dual circuit brakes and a collapsable steering collum from most if not all engineers

If you go over 200 cubic inch you will need to fit the dual circuit brakes and the collapsible column. Keep it under 200 cubic inch and there's no problem

in NSW you can put a 138 red motor or a 149 red motor (if you can find one) I have a  NOS 138 block with pistons still in the wax paper and the GMH crate that if someone was interested in could make me an offer by [PM] .......FC427.....

My mate ran a 12 volt hair dryer from a camping shop with 3 speeds to pass rego in his t model rat rod dont know how long it would last but gets the heat up there pretty quick. he just bought that flexi steel piping and put it over the nozzle.

But any good hot rod shop or american auto parts should be able to get something.
