You are in SA so you need to check with your local guys as most states seem to vary.
In QLD you will need rear disc, unleaded fule limiter, demister, new seat belts. I think that is about it.

Look in the Adelaide yellow pages under Engineers - Vehicle.
Call one of them and ask them for some idea of what they think TSA will want. Also ask them for an estimate for the engineer's report and tests that
TSA will require.
I would also ring TSA at Regency Park and ask to speak to someone at vehicle modifications. Tell them what you want to do. They should give you a
reasonable idea of what will be required over the phone but won't commit themselves to exactly what is needed until you put in an application form.
In one conversation I had with them, they said you can do anything you want, IF you have the money to make it safe and to prove it is safe.
Treat them with respect and you should get on OK. If you get shirty with them they will get REALLY difficult. :cussing
If you don't ahve any luck over the phone you can also try putting in the application. They will soon tell you what they require.
Also look up IIcab on this forum and send him an email or U2U. He lives out at Klemzig and has had permission to put a 3.8 V6 in his bay window kombi,
subject to many requirements. I havent heard how he has got on lately.
Keep us informed, and good luck.
Andy.

no, ring the local RTA (roads and transport authority) and ask them for a list of the appropriate people. Or look up on line.

Street Machine magazine has a list of accredited engineers here for all States http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/Tig/Minisite/Minisite.aspx?alias=carpointau&am...
The listing is by no means complete. It is missing Richard Larson of Load Safe and Keith Fackrel of KCF Rally Sport for QLD.
