Hello Michael, on my resent travels i was advised by a kit supplier that to register a car in QLD the motor need s to be a 1986 or later to be compliant with the regs.
i am not sure which motor you are thinking of using but i know that VL commodore was 1987 model with V8 and carbie.
i am not really a ford man so i couldnt say what model falcon or F series truck would comply with this reg.
good luck with it.
