Hey guys,
Im a new member.
Im interested in dropping a 350 chev into my rodeo ute. Just wanting to know any engine conversion specialists out there and is it legal in nsw to be road registered. i want to have a minitruck with a lot more grunt than most others on the street. Any answers?
Cheers Dale

as for the box, it depends on wether u want manual or auto, if auto then go for a t350 or t400. if manual youd be better off buying the whole driveline out of a hq or something of the sort.
as for road registering a 350 chev in rodeo, anything is possible, the real question is what would you like to spend? because im sure your going to have alot of troubles with your engineer, unless going with the newer ls1 350 chev (im assuming you ment carbied 350), you would have less troubles getting it registered but would cost you an extra arm and half a leg.

not sure of legalities with a 350, got a mate here in toowoomba, he has 307 in a hilux and was at the limit of cubes for vehicle, would be worth speaking to an engineer before you get to far involved
