I'll recap what I said before..
For a 4AGE :
It doesn't need to be engineered! I spoke to many engineers and they all refused to engineer it, because there is nothing to be engineered. It is a straight swap. All you need is an engine number change which any place who does a blue slip can do.
You do NOT need a brake upgrade (i'm not saying you shouldn't do one, but in the eyes of the RTA, blue slip etc you don't need one)
No emission test required, they are kind to you as you are changing from leaded to unleaded, carby to later model EFI.
No weigh bridge certificate, again its just an engine change report.
You DO need the unleaded neck and cat though. Thats it.
I got an unleaded neck from the wreckers, cut out the part and welded it into the original sprinter neck. Fitted a cat, drove it to a blue slip place, 10mins later drove it away.
No idea about the 4AGZE though, will soon though as currently fitting one to a sprinter.
Cheers
Joel
