Yes it is an upgrade Tony. IIRC, the standard diff supplied in the base kit is a 2.92 non-LSD with a standard- hardness gear set. That would have been too lazy in the car anyways.

From what I've been told the engine has to pass the IM240 test, it has to be EFI and have Cats. If by the time I go to buy my engine the rules change and the 351 is no longer an option then a 302 EFI or Coyote could be a good replacement.

302 & 351 EFI were compliant to the same emissions level.
Tonus72, in TAS you just have to setup that 351 as a production 351 EFI engine and as there is no emissions testing that is as far as it goes. So you won't have any trouble running a 351 if that is what you would like to do.

Craig I tried with a VE Commodore 6.0L last year under the relaxed "50%" rules and the IM240 was still mandatory. Has something changed?

Sambo I think Craig was referring to the requirements in Tasmania.

Didn't you guys see the recent news article - Hobart is the second friendliest city in the world!
That must include the folks at Transport... 
And I would like to point out that I was born on the big island - I am here to assist with some depth in the gene pool!

There are no emissions testing facilities in Tassie. So you just need to present a known emissions compliant production engine or an engine that is fitted with known emissions compliant aftermarket parts. Same as for the other states here in Australia that do not have emissions testing facilities. |

Save yourself 10K and leave it like that. The finish is superb.

Are painters going to be rendered obsolete?
Just imagine if Craig's guys come up with a choice of four or five base colours and develop a way to incorporate an optional pearl or slightly metallic finish in these bodies. Sounds far-fetched at the moment but with advances in relevant technology, who knows what's possible? Then, with the use of vinyl striping, the need to paint in the majority of cases would be pretty much redundant.

Metal flake, graphics etc has been used on boats and dune buggies for years, there's no reason why metallics couldn't be done. At a cost of course.
