hmm i can't say for sure as i'm in NSW and deal with the RTA. but i suspect that you can fill in a form and vicroads will just change the records on your rego.

this doesn't mean that it's legal though! if you're pulled over and a cop suspects the engine isn't a legal engine swap, and you don't have an engineers certificate, he'll defect you and then off to the pits you go, where they'll look a lot more closely.
