Crate zetec, registration
Currently building an Indy using Sierra donor diff, gearbox + steering rack, most other parts are brand new (with receipts). I have the VIN plate and
registration document from the Sierra, from memory I think its a 'K' plate.
I didnt purchase the original kit, I have the original receipt from MK but it isn't made out to me, its in the name of the person I bought the
kit from.
Im using a brand new crate blacktop Zetec, which was purchased from GBSC. I have a receipt for the engine but dont have any documentation and the
engine is not stamped with an engine number.
Firstly, am I using enough from the donor to register the MK on the original 'K' reg plate and will I have any problems due to purchase
receipt for the original supplied kit is not in my name?
Secondly, where do I stand with emissions? Do I need to fit an exhaust with a cat?
Cheers Nick

not at all. seen it mentioned on here before, replacement engines often don't have a number stamped on them (replacement as in, if you had the
engine in a mondeo, and it broke, and you took it to ford and they replaced the whole engine)
not sure exactly how this affects getting it registered, but its not unusual for crate engines to not have a number it seems
reciepts, well, they can be made can't they  and you really would need a cat for that engine. in short, you really need a cat for a post 1995
enigne, or one you can't prove the age of, this is a new eninge, and you don't have numbers to prove the age, so you will need it
really

Ford service engines dont have a number, dealers stamp the number off the motor coming out.

Not unusual to not have a engine number, i stamped one on mine using ford coding.... And you will need a CAT for emissions im afraid.

unless you stamped the engine number from an old cvh or pinto then got a letter from ford, I wouldn't try it though just incase the inspector
knows the difference between a brand new zetec and 20 year old CVH!

The engine number i made up using ford coding was to show that the engine was a 2005 engine....

Cheers for the quick replies.
Will it be relatively straight forward to register it on the donor reg even though I am not using the donor engine?
Mikeb, dont think Id get away with stamping it with the original Sierra number, worth thinking about but I reckon even my missus could spot the
difference

It dosent matter who's name is on the original receipt, but it will help if you have a receipt from him also stating what work if any had been
done.
ps keep taking the build photos.
