good read
but keep in mind that the KE70 (AE71, exactly the same car with a 1600 and an SR sticker) came with a 4A-engine. 1300cc to 1600cc is a 18% increase so below the threshold anyway. Also remembering that All 4AGE / 4AF / 4AFE / 4A-C all have engine numbers 4AXXXXXXXXX. In essence you can save time money and cash (in SA) and simply fill in a "change of engine / colour from" at the motor rego office for FREE and it's all hunky dory. How do you reckon I got the CA18 registered legally in my TA22. It sure didn't go over the pits at regency
Good read and very good information for less simple engine swaps but for future reference just fill in the form. It's free and there is no inspection.
