Dimis,
I would be all in favour of any type of engine gaining compliance, although I would probably stick with my injected 6 litre Windsor.
I wish the state authorities would just adopt a Nationally accepted scheme with regards to the engines allowed. Victoria is obviously different to Queensland and I haven't heard any talk of the Queensland regulations changing recently.
Apparently, in Queensland, the engine has to be a late model fuel injected engine that passed its engine emissions in it's factory OEM condition and must run the factory computer? Hence the reason most people are choosing the LS based engines because they are current. Also the late model fuel injected Windsor and Coyote engines pass this compliance. IM240 is not, I believe, an option up here?
I am not aware of any late model vehicle sold with an 8 stack equipped cammer engine in Australia? So that is why I asked if there were changes or if there was a loop hole that maybe guys could now run older style engines with aftermarket ECU's in Queensland?
This could be a game changer for engine choices in Queensland, and, as I said, open the flood gates for us Northerners anyway.
We don't have a club registration scheme up here.
