in NSW (i assume you are), the "code of practice for light vehicle modification" says that it is owner certified (so just eng number change) IF:
-replacement motor is less than 15% increase in capacity over the largest optional engine for your car
AND
- replacement motor is less than 15% in engine power.
from the COPfLVM.

engine conversions can also be treated as owner certified if the engine or modification is an original manufacturers option for the vehicle however, any other components (such as brakes, transmissions, suspension, exhaust etc) which were packaged by the manufacturer as part of the original specification for the replacement engine MUST also be fitted
|
most 4AC cars in Aus never had the option of 4AG, so it must be cert'd. NO cars in Aus had the 20V as an option, so it MUST be cert'd.
check with a reputable engineer first. save a headache later.
as far as insurance goes, Shannons will insure pretty much any car as long as it is engineered properly, and garaged.
