JD, some extra information for you.

ADR 37/01 is the full label of the emissions level you need to meet. All states in Australia are at the same level now, 100% of 37/01.

Mike comes from one of the states here that has mandatory emissions testing, both NSW & VIC have mandatory emissions testing for all ICV's. So I think that it where is advice was coming from, although with the right advice and setup, 302w will pass 37/01, they did originally and we have better emissions techology now.

In SA if you use a known emissions compliant engine and run it in it's original emissions compliant configuration, an emissions test is not required.

If you don't want to perform an emissions test, you can only source the engine from AU series of Falcon's. Since the emissions standard is USA based, you can also run USA production engines from Mustang etc. Best engines from the USA are the early 90's Mustang engines.

That engine on ebay might already have security removed from the ECU and wiring loom sorted out for a Cobra. That is worth something.
