Would probably work in Qld in the smaller towns....

In 99 I got a 6cyl HX ute from Noosa wreckers and swapped all the bits from my HJ Sandman over to it.... had to get it engineered to fit bucket seats due to the 3 seat on the HX compliance plate. Anyway, when I presented it for rego the woman told me is was listed as a 6cyl but now had a V8 in it.... I said oh ohh what does that mean.... her reply was no problem, happens all the time with these models .... a few strokes on the keyboard and it was registered as a V8 with the new engine number.

She was more interested in the fact I had the mod plate fitted for the bucket seats and they were fitted correctly.... I figured as I had to get the mod plate I may as well bolt SS Commodore seats into it and had to fit 3" x 3" washers to the floor.
