Late Model Blocks

No, they are the same.

Don't use those spacers. Awful damn things. $275 in Sydney to redrill a block is a much better option.

Yeah, I've used the spacers and they are a bit messy since everything has to be spaced the same amount. If the motor is going to be out of the car it's a no-brainer to get it re-drilled and dowelled. If you wanted to change the 'box without pulling the motor, then a spacer kit is the go.

Just wondering how we go with rego using late block I know date codes might line up 94 and 74 wise but won't the vr type number flash up in database then have to use all late pollution gear? And what is the actual difference with the turbo gbox crossmember are the holes further back or does the box have to sit lower have a crs type for the t700 but doesn't look very original though

Then don't tell anyone you've changed it! How often do engine numbers get checked? If it does eventually get checked, tell them you just put it in and haven't got around to changing the number yet.

Or there are "other" ways......

I was just lookin at rego or blue slip time as this will be the only time it is looked at or to resell will be under scrutiny not that worried just don't know what a late number will flag up on rta or rms whatever they call them now
