no its not in qld trans said if its mono construked chassie thay treat like a 120 y if it has a
chassie there said it's a commercial ute and I all so I talked to 6 engineers about it and they all said yes to mono construked ute on the commercial ute they said no becouse ti is a carrgo carryer I had a fight with davo about it but with the mono strucked you have to up grade your brakes , and suspension and you must have a clapable steering and qld transport has the final say you have to loge a forum for a the mod and it will be approved

and to 2k4u they will put your car off the road

A friend of mine got away with a CA18DE in a 1200 Coupe in the 90's by telling the guy that the C stood for "commercial" and it was still an A series motor.

The guy bought it apparently and he got it registered.

I should have asked if it was non turbo or turbo and yes you can do that in the 90's

Ha ha Mildman, imagine that an A series A18 with oval port head. that would be a nice motor to build. Well i guess the L18 has it covered with the datto's.
