| Post subject: | Question for victorian P platers |
Hi guys, just wanted to hear some your experiences in regards to engine swaps in your minis. i haven't been able to find any good detailed stuff on the net, so I'm going to give Vicroads a call soon, but i want to know if anyone has any any trouble with them not allowing a swap? my 998 is kaput and ive got a rebuilt 1100 waiting to go in. Reckon i would have any trouble from Vicroads? |

Hi Jim, as far as i know, if you change the engine (eg the size) you need an engineer's certificate. but we all know the cars can handle an 1100 so you should have no problems! |

I had trouble here in NSW once with a swap from a 998 (in 1978 Clubby) to a reconditioned 1098. The inspection station's anal #1 objected that the new' motor was 3 or 4 years older than the original. I told him so we were just arguing about the block number prefix really, he wouldn't budge, I said F it and went to another shop. No idea if this `no older than original' rule applies or is enforced in Vic. But I doubt you would need an `engineers certificate' down there for a 998>1098 swap- they are the same damned block! Also as 998s and 1098s were used in the same bodies with the same brakes, both roundy and Clubby. |

You should not have any problems. All you need to do is take the receipt for the engine down to vicroads and fill in the paper work for a change of engine number. They will visually check the engine number and issue you with a new rego label. You don't require an engineers certificate as an 1100 was 'optional' for the mini. The vicroads website explains what you need to do. Have a look under the heading "Change of engine" http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Registration/PermitsModificationsAndDefects/Modifications/NotifyingVicRoadsOfChangesAndModifications.htm |

I'm building a clubby with a cooper s 1275 so i have been doing some homework. What i have found is you can put whatever you want on your car as long as it was offerd by the factory. Proof:http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Licences/GetYourPs/RestrictionsOnPs/Pplatedriversandprobationaryprohibitedvehicles.htm Good luck with swapping the engines |

You'll be fine to do that on your p's cos the 998 and 1100 are the same motor just different crank basically. No stress there at all =) |
