Registering engine swap with DVLA

[leeroy_25]

Anyone got any experience or info with registering an engine swap with the DVLA? Must be plenty out! I have a 20B swap but imagine they will all be the same process.
Please give me some pointers about the information I need to round up and I can get pointed into the right direction.

Thank you
Lee

Hi mate i successfully registered my rx8 engine in my westy...ill detail later had a bit of toing and froing and dvla/vosa frustration but got there in end.

on the v5 logbook there is section for entering changes i.e colour cubic capacity etc.

personally my car was registerd as a 1700cc and green.

i filled out the changes to blue and 1300cc and the engine number.

i recieved a new logbook with blue as colour and no engine change.

i refilled new logbook out with 1300c and engine number.

I then recieved a letter stating i needed supporting evidence.

this could be 1. donors logbook 2. engineers report 2. mot testing station letter of statement.

i had for mine the donors service book stamped by supplying dealer with engine number and cubic capacity as 1300cc.

my mate works in an mot station so he did me a letter on headed notepaper detailing he had inspected car and mot'd it and confirmed engine fitted and engine number.

I then got a logbook.  and cheaper tax   took a while as dvla/vosa really slow.
