when you say its gone, is it corroded so you cannot see it, never had one as in a replacement block or possibly been ground off? without means of
establishing age from number might have problems

Zetec engines only have a number if they are the original fit. Service or new replacements do not have a number.
Dealers are instructed to restamp replacement engine with the old number.
Best thing to do is go down the srappy find a pre aug 95 car and write the number down. take a hammer and chisel and obliterate the number and stamp
it on your engine.
Then no cat required for emmisions

Presumably that's my answer too, my engine swop was to a Zetec with no number, was wondering how I'd get on with the DVLA

Am I correct in thinking that pre 95 was Silver top?

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

yes but i think the cam covers are interchangable, so if you got a blacktop, go get an old silver top for the sva, and blag it

Have got an old pre 95 block with number on it, if you want the number let me know (this is the engine i used for my SVA).

Take a picture of the engine no, as well,
so you can match up the spacings etc
I had to do this on a GTE i bought several years ago, and in my haste to buy the car didnt notice the engine was numberless (filed off )

So a pre-95 engine is just smoke-test at IVA???
