things must have changed in Qld then, back in 98 I wanted to put a 350 in my HJ ute and was told no. You were only allowed to upgrade to an engine that was a factory option for that model so 308 was as big as was allowed in a HJ or I could buy a HQ and fit a 350 in that.
Wasn't even allowed to fit a 253 in a 4wd Hilux when people were fitting 308's in them in NSW legally.
