You can do an engine change in your backyard, it's not illegal. What makes you ask that?

It's legal...just make sure you give paper work to the your RTA to update your engine numbers...of course make sure your engine isn't illegal in the first place.

Just what are you trying to ask? Clarify your question a little. What do you mean by any year engine? 1972 or 2010?

not 100% sure but i dont think you are allowed to put a older mdel engine in a newer car
due to emissions laws could be wrong tho

But to the OP...don't bother putting an EL engine into an AU...just get another AU motor and chuck it in.

You could put an EF/EL motor in an AU if you wished, why I don't know, but you would need to run all the AU gear, ie. BBM, Throttle Body, Coilpack, etc and AU ECU. AU cam sensor is taken from the front of the Timing case, EF/EL don't have this option and an AU timing case has a different front seal to an EF/EL.
You would be better off just picking up another AU motor and dropping it in. Would be a lot easier. |

isn't there also a sensor on the back of the head on the au motor?
