Whenever I see stuff like this I wonder how on earth they managed to get someone to sign off on the engineering certificate. Then again it does say he's worked in engineering of some varieties so maybe he can self certify.

If he didn't mess with the frame, brakes, steering or suspension it probably didn't need certification. They don't care about cars breaking down, just that they should be controllable and able to stop.

Changing to a motor which wasn't originally offered in that model of vehicle definitely needs certification, at least in NSW (other states might be more lenient).
