    Do you eventually want to get it registered with that motor in it ? ... I don't know what Queensland regulations are like but most states will not let you register / convert a motor into a car that is older than the car, due to emissions etc ..

    Please , I didn't want to here that as I have spent a fortune on both the hilux and the motor , I was planning on getting it mod plated when complete.

    Not meaning to rain on your parade but check first if they let you do that in Queensland as last time I checked they wouldn't let you do it that way in Vic .. ( strange but true )
