Yeah Al, I know, but I was fighting the Qld Dept of transport about the windsor..

Fact is, my car was inspected years ago to be registered and passed. But I never did register it. ( long story) It was fitted with a 302 windsor, carby, cats, etc. I have a VIN number.

Two years ago I wrote to the department to confirm that they would recognise that fact and would they register the car with the same engine. I received an affirmative answer.

The department now say that my file has been "misplaced" and that for me to register I have to comply with the latest regulations...ie. injected engine.

I'm tired of fighting with them. It has been suggested I take some form of legal action and that I'd win as I have all the documentation, but frankly, that'll cost be the same as the L76.

Had they allowed the registration with the 302 windsor then that engine would have changed to the 351 stroker after rego as I have a new 351 block with no engine number. (truck service block).

If I had an inexpensive choice, the windsor would be used.

Typical bluddy government department runaround.
