I live in SA and did a bit of checking around to see if I could put a GEN3 in a LJ torana. I found a lot of misinformation around. There is no precise rules for engine size vs vehicle weight. There is some recommendations, but yours (and mine) fall outside this. Bottom line is in SA you can put whatever you want in, as long as an engineer and regency say its ok. I engaged an engineer to do a proposal to dept transport. Regency responded with approval in principle and a statement of requirements. They pretty much want a bunch of tests like braking, lane change etc. I'd budget $300ish for initial engineer proposal, then about $2k at the end to do all the tests. Cheers Peter.

Great experience (after changing my jocks :-[ ) As stapla said, you'll need to get the engineer involved, the earlier the better. |
