Praise the Ford!
Chaps
I have to report top quality customer service from the Ford Technical information centre.
I wrote to them asking for written confirmation of my engine age on Tuesday 16th, just got my reply in the post today, Thursday 18th!
Although they dont say:
"The engine was manufactured in Feb 1980"
They say:
"The engine was fitted to a vehicle manufactured in Feb 1980"
Now this engine was the one that came out of my single donor 1970 Mk1 Escort and the engine number is the same as that printed on the V5.
Does this cause any registration probs - i.e not original engine of donor vehicle?

i dont think so, as long as its on the v5.
also a good way to get a bec on a non Q plate, put the bike engine in the donor car (or pretend to while you send off the documents) then use the
engine in your kit car with donor reg plates!

thats a smooth idea, cos if you change the engine there is no test is there? so then you could pretend all the components came from one car. you
wouldn't really be pretending even...!
