    For sure.. Most blokes say a conversion chews the 10g mark once certified.
    As mug gecko said a zd30 crate motor is around those dollars. Then no cert needed just the rego papers changed to show the engine change..

    If you used Marks adapters you'll find they fit great and awesome aftersales service.
