Default legality regarding engine conversion

Hi everyone. Recently bought a 1974 TC cortina. I would like to put aworked EFI 302 into it. Is this conversion legal and will i be able to easily get it engineered and registered?

Rules are different from state to state. Talk to your RTA (or have you already?) With NSW (I believe) getting tighter.

Have a good read of this your Cortina should easily be within the vehicle weight to engine size ratio with a 5.0
