Advice Needed - engine conversion inspection
So i need an 'engineers report' to send off to the DVLA for my engine conversion, who can do it? engineering company? MOT tester? anybody who owns a garage?
cheers guys i'm just confusing my myself and don't really fancy paying £60 that i was quoted by a local engineering company

Something on headed paper stating the engine is safe and properly installed.
Any garage should be able to do that for you

Its this some thing new then, as in the past I've just made the changes on the log book, sent it off to the dvla, no reports needed.
