Welcome to the forum mate, did you get an approval in principal before you started building this van ???
There are plenty of them with the pipes through the inner guards, the 350 thing seems to be dependant on who you talk to - I would try a different engineer ........
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

In the end it will come down to the engineer to help you get rego, there are a couple of guys doing v-8's in Vic at the moment. Maybe pm Bumpar and see who he's using as I can't remember who it is. Hopefully a few others will let you know who there using.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

PM this guy also, sounds like his engineer in Vic is on the same page as mine in regards to commercial vehicles
