I know this was covered a while back but i cant find the thread.

I have changed the engine in the locost from the donors 2.9 to a 3.6. Do i need to change the engine on the donors V5 before IVA if i want an age related plate?

i think i remember this thread, weren't DVLA now wanting loads of proof of the engine being in the car first? photos etc?

Iv got photo's of the 2.9 in the donor but not the 3.6

ETA - I also have pics of the 2.9 and the 3.6 in the chassis

You *might* get away with it as you are i (in theory) increasing the size of the engine. I think they get a bit suspicious if you are reducing the engine size.

Also, even if they are getting a bit wiser, then a Jag is not really a usual donor for a kit car

Worth a shot - they didn't blink an eyelid when I upped the engine capacity and changed the engine number in my Fury.
