Interesting, so really there is no advantage to using the black rods and crank we already have, better off using different rods and crank, or do you think the black gear will work fine for our application? (only planning to run 9psi)
The actual concept or effective cc of the turbo or blown 202 isn't the rego issue with a WB. It is the emissions or pollution equipment problem, ie compliance with ADR27A, 27B or 27C depending what compliance the WB chassis you have is (AWB, BWB, CWB etc). The reason the stock EFI 304/350 or the blown V6 easily comply is they are a later emissions requirement and automatically comply. The stroked 304 (which will be a 330-ish ci or 350ci engine) will probably have the same issues unless you dress it up with all original WB V8 pollution equipment. The easiest way around it all is to change out the chassis for a HQ or HJ one!
I think Dad had already worked this out, but I suppose I'll run it by him. As for a Chassis swap I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to do, it's not like they aren't everywhere. So really its because the chassis is newer that the car is subject to stricter emission standards?
