I've just been ringing around engineers and kit builders regarding the new regulations. From what i can tell there is basically a 3 year rule where the engine must be no more than 3 years old (and from an australian passenger car)when you purchase the chassis. And then you have three years to finish it. Can someone please confirm this.

What options do i have?
The Gen 3 and the BA Ford XR8 engine? I do like the sound of an XR8 engine.

Also, does the engine have to be less than 3 years old or does the vehicle that used that engine have the be less than 3 years old.
ie. Series II VT SS used the Gen3 engine which was back in 2000 or something like that. Can i use a 6 year old engine because they were used in cars within the 3 years or do i have to make sure it was manufactured within the 3 years?
