Engine swap declaration
Ive now swapped the mondeo engine into my mk4 fiesta.I still have the mondeo and log book for it.I now need to tell dvla that ive done the change over.Is it as easy as filling the paper work in on the v5 and sending it off.I have proof the mondeo is mine obviously.What did everyone else do when they did the change over

Wahay!! I've lost my Virginity!!
Its a pain in the arse, you need a engineers report , engine numbers, a lot of paper work and phone calls and it will still take them months well they did when I swapped the engine in the fez.

Sounds like a good idea.I just dont want to be on the wrong side of the law lol.Driving it now is a big give away when you blip the throttle and all of a sudden your doing 30mph lol

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
i have this problem, i have a 1.3 fiesta and have converted to rst running gear, should i tell the dvla as its in the wrong tax bracket, or just leave it as it is and tell the insurance company????

Not entirely sane
When I changed from twinky to 2.9 in my 4be, I just sent a receipt for the engine with the serial number on it along with the V5. They changed it on the V5 with no issues. The receipt was just hand written in one of those carbon copy receipt books with the garage stamp on it. Wouldn't be hard to write one out yourself and use one of those address stamps from a stationers that come with a load of letters you just put in yourself.

If its an OEM part I.e ford designed engine made to fit a later model and you don't need to do any structural modifications for it to fit then yeh all you need is proof of the engine etc, but if you need to do any modifications they need a report to show that all the stresses and weak spots have bin taken into concideration when doing the build

I have a Dutton phaeton 1970 kit car.
I removed the 1600 crossflow and fitted a 5400cc v8.
I sent of the log book with the engine codes and cc change and they sent it straight back updated to new info no questions.
the only time ive had issues is when ive fitted a smaller engine and dropped into cheaper tax bracket, they make it very difficult if there gonna loose some money !
