Hi fellow forumers,
I'm 3/4 through my XE rebuild and am starting to think about how to go about rego. The car will mainly be a burnout car but I would also like rego so I can take it out for a quick lap when I want. The car was originally a 6 cylinder fairmont and here is a list of the main modifications that I am planning on doing: - Tunnel rammed 351 cleveland around 340-350rwhp - FMX auto with 3800 stall - Spooled 3.9 borgwarner (will change to LSD for road use) - Fuel cell in boot with holley blue pump etc and braided lines throughout - 4 into 1 headers with 3 inch collectors into 3 inch system - Extra coolant tank between radiator and engine. - Lowered on king springs and Koni adjustables. Now my main questions are: - First of all will they pass it with the v8 in it? - Can I just use low filters and a scoop for a blue slip? - Can I run a fuel cell and what are the requirements for blue slip? - Or should I keep the plastic tank until after it passes? - How do I go about emissions. Rehook up charcoal canister somehow and should be ok? what to do about catch can? Nothing crazy but enough to worry about being knocked back. Only real issues I can see are emissions with different carbies and exhaust and the carbs out of the bonnet which I'd cover with a scoop for rego. If I use the factory fuel tank I shouldnt have to worry about that side of things would I? Will I have any chance of passing a blue slip or am I dreaming and definitely going to need an engineers certificate?
