Any updates on this awesome build?

If i'm not mistaken is that the World Class T-56? any reason to go WC instead of normal except for better shifting? Normal T-56 is practically indestructible.

http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/pdf/NCOP3_Section_LA_Engine_01jan2011_v3.pdf That should cover most of the stuff you need to know, main thing for conversions is on page 11, it explains the CC's to Kg ratios and all that. There were some changes done in Nov Lat year but I copuldnt find any updated documents regarding engine conversions so i'm guess they didn't change anything regarding conversions.

I'm not entirely sure on the rules but, I am fairly sure they use the original vehicle weight for the most heavy model from a book they have.

Forgot about brazing, have seen people fixing rust and doing other body work, should be fine, as long as there is no slag from welding i don't see why they would complain.

For any structural work i'm pretty certain must be TIG or MIG. No ARC/Stick Allowed

How much is shortening gonna set you back? If you don't mind me asking.
