SBF swap BBF

[69mach1]

What are the Queensland licencing rules regarding swapping a small block out and fitting a big block?

[FST68]

this depends on what you are wanting to fit back in.

if the bb is a standard fitment for other modells it is as simple as making sure all the suspension and breake components are equivelant or better that the standard car with the new bb motor size. then is a simple mod plate which most decent certified mechanical engineer can do.

if it is someting differnet then its a whole diifferent ball game.

with all of this said my advise is to talk to the engineer who will certify the conversion they will tell you exacty what they is needed.

Cheers

Can you recommend an engineer I could call?

[FST68]

There are plenty Around.

the engineer I use is retire and looks like he isn't far from not being around at all.

I'm sure someone can give a good recomendation.

Short of this give Queensland Transport Modifications a Call they have a list of regestered engineers who can perform this certification

There is a guy called John Cain in Brisbane. I used him a few years ago now when I put a 302W in my XP Coupe, and was very happy. Specialises in engine Mods. He does most blue plate mods. I will see if I can dig up his number.

I think you may mean John Keen from John Kean auto tune. Keeny is good for engine swaps.
Earl Gillcrest would be worth a call also.
