It's also an out dated plan. With the wrecks register up and running the donor engine may have come out of a recent stat write off meaning it will set off alarm bells and you will be required to fill out a stat dec as to how you acquired that engine. Also don't forget that a blind man can tell the difference between an L20 and an L18 block. As Jeff says your third party insurance will be voided as well.
It's a lot easier and less stressful to simply get it approved. It's not like it's the only L20 powered Datto in Oz.

They just looked at the rego sticker and took the number from that on my car. My 1600 was already rego`d ( not engineered but!!) with the L20B but they didn`t pick it up. I went to Greensborough Vicroads and told them i have changed my engine number and need it recorded. I DIDN`T tell them it was a capacity increase and some how got away with it. No forms to fill in, nothing. They just wrote the number down and gave me a new sticker. If you do this you will need a receipt for the motor before they will change it. Don`t go to Burwood Vicroads as you will have to fill in a form asking it`s capacity. Get your RWC first to remove the Canary then if you do the above, do it a different day.
