because it had 2.8 and thats what it was built with and you changed it over to 4.2turb ,
isnt thats right?
As it was an option engine for that make model no engineers required, just as you can put a 5.0L V8 into Commodore that was a V6 as long as the respective brakes and suspension are V8 and signed off by a mechanic and the engine is of the same make/model etc.

it's not like he was trying to pass a 13b rotary off for a 12a, the motor screamed holden and the guy didn't pick up on it.
if they are responsible for doing these inspections, then yes, it is their job to be able to verify that the right engine is installed.

no its not, its up to the person applying for registration to present all accurate information about the vehicle. Read your rego application next time you register a car.

its the same with qld transport, and bunnings.
ring up any company, and the dumb arse emplyee at the other end will give you garbage information. The only way to know anything for sure is to see it in writing.
