This conversion will have to go through regency.
Do not tell them about the "not retaining the original cam" thing as that will immediately make the conversion not road legal in your car.
Make sure that you connect up all the emissions stuff you can find.
Get it emission tested (basic approx. $20-30) and tuned to pass at <2.5% CO and less than 250ppm hydrocarbons.
Note: if you have comp cams, you will have bugger all chance of getting this passed.
Best bet is to source some regular cams (newer the better) and use them for the emissions test. Then once you've got it passed you can change them back discretely.
Make sure you're car is roadworthy, as they will give you a full roadworthyness test when they inspect it.
Don't change the carbies, these need to look original foir the inspection, but once it's passed, you'll find that these will restrict your engine with the lumpy cams.
These engines are loud when you rev them, that is just how things go, and you've got 96db to play with at idle.
Benen, your engine might not be any better with premium as from memory, you've got the low compression version so it shouldn't make too much difference, other than all the mechanics I've spoken to reckon that Lead replacement fuel is shit and recks your engine really, really fast.
If you need any more info about getting your conversion passed regency, my brother and I did it recently (18rg-RA28) and got through first go.
