Hey folks, just wondering if anyone has an idea of what an engineers certificate would cost for an engine swap on an ulp 6 cyl car to an gas 8 cyl car. rough figure would be of help. am i looking at $500 - $1000 or $1000 to $2000, or more.

Thanks

its an xf ute, so no it never had a v8 option. but the hole car has been built from scratch to comply with what my mechanic thinks/knows (??) is the current regs. but his engineer was unable to do the certificate due to health reasons. now i'm stuck in the pig as he has wiped his hands of it.
