Is it still legal to swap 4age into sprinter to replace 4ac now?

It's a long and rigourous proccess and it's highly illegal.
if you get caught, you get a very very hefty fine, and your car taken off the road.

i recommend contacting your local road/registration authority, as we dont know where you live and the laws are different in different states/countries. They will be able to give you the CORRECT answer.

It does need to get engineered if it had a 4ac in it before.

So basically every Aus-spec sprinter needs to get engineered in other words?
Flobbag and others say it doesn't?
I know for insurance purposes it doesn't change anything because it's still the same engine capacity and part of the 4A series and doesn't have any forced induction.

i did some research on this when my car got its engine swap.
RTA NSW said on their website that an engine which is not larger in capacity by more than 10% (i think) is classified as owner certified, not requiring engineering signatory. when the engine size surpasses this quota, engineering cert. is required.
my car was "owner certified" but that didnt stop the prick of a cop giving me a defect 12 hrs afetr the motor went in.
do a search for "guide to light vehicle modification" it will tell you everything you need to know, its an RTA website.
