engine no. change

ghetto3 · 26-10-2013, 11:12 PM

While researching the latest changes to modified vehicle law crap, i found out you now need(?) to take your car to an AUVIS (authorized unregistered vehicle inspection station) to have a change of engine number certified. Is this true? Should i start crying now? Will it need to be standard and non itb'd to get through or will ol'mate only be certifying the engine number and otherwise glaring at me for the other mods?
The engine change is nothing more than a change of block, identical in every respect to what it replaces.

More to it my car is still rego'd.

i have done engine swaps before with rego still on the car and all that was required at the time was just a blue slip type inspection which cost me at the time $60 just to swap numbers over it isn't a full blue slip so specify that clearly to them otherwise they will sting you and as far as mods go it wont matter cause they have nothing to do with the block but if the laws have changed since i have done it will be just a case of asking someone who does blueslips

It was a $20-something form with old/ new changes. Eh paint, engines. I'll have to do one for my v6 to I4.
