What are my engine choices

So, Mr Damage has a youbeaut tune and tricky heads, but without a facility in Qld to perform an IM240 test, how do you prove that the emissions from the cammer are compliant?

Who says there aren't facilities in QLD capable of performing this test. It is after all just a test sequence performed on a dyno with the required gas analysis equipment.

Anyway now it's up to QLD transport to Prove it doesn't and they only have the ability to do a 4 gas analysis road side and it will pass that with flying colours regardless what tune I dial into it.

A 1965 engine is hardly a 1965 engine when it no longer has carbs and now has electronic ignition EFI and huge CATS.

Unless I'm mistaken all modern engines are a basic derivative of engines that are donkeys old LS chevs windors clevelands all made pre 70's and are the basic engine platform right through to the early mid 2000.

The year the engine was originally manufactured has little regard for its configured and tuned state when compared to a say 1971 falcon engine versus a 2005 TS falcon with last of the 5.8 Windsor based on the same block and reciprocating assembly.

I could be mistaken but I believe QLD transport do..

This is from QLD Transport and main roads:
Vehicle Standards Instruction (light vehicle 20.2)

This exemption from the requirement to conduct an IM240 test has been issued considering the present absence of suitable test facilities across Queensland. TMR intends to review this exemption and consider mandating the IM240 test once suitable test facilities are established in Queensland to provide access and choice to consumers across the whole state. No date has been set for this review, however TMR will continue to monitor the situation.

Just a little research would help your case !!
And the rest... Geez, where to start.

Yeah well the modern motors have 8 cylinders like the early motors but that is about it.

BTW, LS motors where designed and built in the 90's.
