New Engine into pre-'74 car and ADRs

[mr_h._simpson]

Hello,

Looking at buying a '62 Cortina with a mid 80's Toyota twin cam engine in it and have a concern about lack of anti-pollution gear on the engine. I live in NSW.

Car has engineers papers for engine and gearbox.

I have looked at the RTA website for clarification. It just says with a car made after '74 that is getting a more modern engine the engine needs to comply with the later ADR. It does not mention if the car is pre-'74.

So, I rang two RTA approved engineers and got two different answers. First one said engine needs to have its ADR stuff. Second one said engine doesn't need to ADR stuff as is pre-'74. I explained in both cases the car is a '62 model.

Can anyone give me a definite answer or somewhere I can look to get one?

Also, if it does need to have ADR stuff is it hard to fit something on that will keep the rego people happy?

Thanks for any info.
Andrew
