i suggest taking it vicroads guys as soon as you get a chance.
when i put the 5ltr in my vt i didnt do it for like a year, until i got pulled over for a canarie and they checked the engine number, they were going to impound the car cos it was different.
the car itself didnt need an engineers as that model was also released in a 5ltr, but you do have to change the numbers over at vicroads.
not sure if its the same for a gearbox, id say it would be.
lukily the 5ltr i put in was a brand new block and i had the receipt at home from the company i bought it off with the engine numebr on it which my dad bought down and showed them that the motor matched the receipt.
copper said if details dont correspond to the registration details on file, they are allowed to hold the car at impound for 24hours or until its rectified.
get it changed, saves the hassle later on - there is actually a fine for not telling them as well.
