It is particular to the state the car is rego'd in, you have to find out for sure from RTA nsw i guess for the rules for swaps.
Im currently trying to find out the same information cos i keep hearing mixed comments and stories also. I have almost finished the 18rgeu conversion and all ive done is changed the engine number on my rego. I know it is the dodgy way but im sorry yes thats the path im taking, i dont have the cash right now to approve it even tho it wouldnt be hard, just a hassle (A BIG ONE).
I believe as a rule of thumb you dont have to engineer a car just because it has a replacement DOHC efi head on the same block (for all they know), all it needs is a full roadworthy inspection. BUT, this may include if u have not yet done so changing filler neck to ULP, getting a cat, stock ride-height, rims, tires, steering wheel etc..
I think this is the go in SA and we have fairly strict rulse compared to the eastern states i think..
But it just depends on whether the RTA's book on engines says the 18Rgeu is not compatable or too powerful for a stock ra28, then it mite need engineering, or you could jsut say you put that head on the old 18Rc block.
