Hi
If I were to buy a road registered kit car and change the engine e.g from car to bike, does this mean a completely new IVA would be required, if not
what would be required.
Thanks.
No, just inform the DVLA and send off your V5 (I think) with a covering letter explaining the changes. It tells you what to do on the V5 I think. And insurance of course.
You will need a letter from a garage confirmg the change - this has been covered numerous times on here

I would check with your insurance first.
Last thing you want to do is get all the hard work done and then find your insurance co wants a fortune to insure it, or wont insure you at all.
Do the checking before you start work, and do it in writing so they cant back out very easily. Done over the phone, they can easily say that no one
said that, or thats not what was agreed. Much more difficult to get out of it if its in writing.
Its just less hassle to get that sorted before you start the work, and it may well influence your choice of engine etc etc etc.
Just my 2d's worth.
EDIT:
Also make sure you get a proper receipt for the engine, that includes the engine number and perhaps some details fo the vehicle it came from, ie reg
no etc.

You’ll need to provide either:
a receipt for the replacement engine
written evidence from the manufacturer
an inspection report provided for insurance purposes
written confirmation on headed paper from a garage (if the change took place before you bought the vehicle)
