The ruling over here in wa is, if the car came out with that engine, you can put that engine in the car.
if you were doing the swapsies here, i dout you would have any issue what so ever.
I had a 1.8l turbo 180-sx, when it died i put a 2l turbo motor in from a newer model (s14 series not s13 series) but because the s13 seies came out with the same 2l turbo motor all the DPI asked me to do was fill in a change of engine number form.
The car is licenced with that engine and the insurance company simply wanted to know if it was all sweet with the DPI then its all sweet with them.
If the nav came out in 3l, then i dout you would have any issues doing the swap over here, even if it dident come out in 3l 4wd as long as the car came out with that engine they would let you off pretty easy. Im not sure what its like in other states, but ive heard it can be a bit more dificult.
Moving onto the fuel situation. the easy option would be to fire up a relay and replace the intake carby pump with an EFI pump (walbro 255ll pumps go pretty cheap these days...).
the more fun option would be to get a surge tank, run carby pump into surge tank and have the efi pump in here. This will guarintee that the efi pump is allways submerged even while you are 4wding on angles etc.
I was looking into geting one of the 30l sub tanks from a patrol and making some mods to that. have stock fuel setup run to that and have an efi pump in there to feed the motor. However this was just a vague plan i had in my head, ~30l is a bit big for a surge tank, but at least you can source them pretty easy. most cheap surge tanks have external fuel pump setups and i dident eant an external one on the 4b, getting all dirty and shit.
thats my thoughts anyway
