    Yeah, Gotta get it on the road.
    VB was the last red motor. Vicroads will get really cross if you put one in a VH. Not to mention the EPA.

    You will be lucky to get it registered with an older engine fitted.They wont register it in NSW,I know guys who have tried to do this before (in NSW anyway)and it got knocked back..

    Try 71KW @ 3600 RPM for a VB red 202.
    I know nothing about 202s.
    Is the block the same as the blue 202?
    Is it possibly for vk-paul to transfer the head, exhaust, inlet, carby and rest of crap from his blue 202 to his red 202 to comply with EPA and Vic Roads?

    yeah you need to use the blue /black headgasket as a guide to drill a couple of extra water holes and the later top end bolts straight on a red block still dont know if it would comply though.

    Why would it not the block aint got nothing to do with the pollution side of it and thats they only thing they will can it for not the fact its a red engine. as long as the pollution crap is all hooked up they will pass it.

    it more than likely would comply if you put the entire blue top end on with the pollution gear.

    Nope. It all comes down to the number on the block.
    Vic roads will go "oi this engine is from an older car." and then look up the pollution req's for the VB, after which they'll take one of those 3 foot poster protector tubes and ram it fair up your arse.

    nah it can have the old number as long as all its emissions are met. so if ALL the gear off the leter 202 is installed, itll pass. not sure if you need an engineer, or if vicroads/rwc guys have the authority.

    to the OP
    not sure what the rules are in the other states, but yeah might have some problems getting a red motor registered in a VH...
    but otherwise ignore the critics, I had a lot of fun with my old 202 powered VH, whilst it wouldn't exactly blow the doors off the newer stuff today, it certainly had more than enough power to get myself into trouble back then.

    as for finding places to open it up.... I know I'm going to sound like a nagging parent, but don't stuff around on the street. There's too much to lose these days. You'll end up with your car impounded and your licence suspended. Take it to your local drag strip or race track. That way you can drive it flat out without having to worry about the law and/or other motorists.

    It would be worth a call to Vic Roads to check before you went to a lot of trouble. The blue 202 has a different head, porting and pollution gear. It will be good for 83KW @ 4000RPM but it still won't sound like a V8.
