P Plate Motor swap

[HOLDENLOVER1998]

Im not sure if I'm in the right section but anyway. I am currently on my L's and I'm driving a 1994 Holden VR Calais. The car is currently a V6 stock as a rock. I was reading today and with the new P plate laws i will be able to drive the v8 version of this car. My question is when the time comes and I'm on my p plates will i be able to do an engine swap and swap the v8 motor into my car? Thanks in advance

By the time you've spent all your savings on an engine swap, you way aswell sell the V6 and buy a Calais 5L.

No you won't be allowed to as the car was build before 2010 so the rule does not apply to you.

\thread.

Alright so apparently the new NSW rule is different to the new vic rule, refer to IBLOWN's post.

But having to live in WA outweighs that and you still end up loosing.

i don't know about that.
radar detectors are still leagle here, we still get to do 110kph on the open road,
and best of all the cops are only allowed V6/Turbo 6's as they keep wrapping V8's around trees! :driving:
we've just got to deal with stupid self centred pollies! :doh:

110km/h speed limit in VIC, and the ford turbo 6 is quicker than the V8 so all good

Hey mate, if you want to drive a v8 you have to buy a factory stock one as an engine swap is a modification which makes it illegal
