From what I know you can't rego a 429 V8 as this is classed as a big block, this coming from Hot rods, you can use small block V8s though which are less than 400cc in size.

Maybe a car that had one from the start and still had said engine.

Seen many 400cc V8's lately, :rofl: would be alot of work for a very slow truck. cubic inches perhaps

Go and have a chat with an engineer, as said above, most chats are free. might even be worth spending an hour with them for a few 00's and finding out what they want in order to pass it. a few hundred bucks would seem very sheap if you got to the end and they said it could be passed but not like that, you will have to change ....

Call your local registration office and get a list of Engineers WHO ARE STILL APPROVED to sign off registered vehicles.
