Engine Swap
A bit of a poser this one 
I have my donor car on a SORN, still have the shell in the driveway as yet, if I tell the DVLA that I have changed the engine in it and let them do
all the paperwork. Can I then use the swapped engine in my Viento and still get an age related plate?
The donor car is a Ford and the new engine is from a Jaguar.
My wife is very understanding, she understands that if I am in the garage I am not in the house annoying her.

The Ford engine I have is from a Scorpio and it would cost too much to put it in. I have now bought the Jag engine and want to build the car around
it.

My understanding for IVA purposes you now have to show photographic evidence that the engine was actually in the car and the V5 alone is not
sufficient evidence.
Thats because of the number of V8 Sierra's there were in the country that were used as donors for Kits!!!

That does help, I think if I was honest I already knew I wouldn't get away with it
Now, who do I know that can use Photoshop

Can't you actually remove the engine form the ford, place the jaguar engine in it take a couple of pictures and remove it?

on a positive note I believe you can still get an age related plate if the engine numbers dont match but you have used a certain number of other parts
And IVA arent bothered about your V5 documents or which engine went where. Its the DVLA you have to convince, so its a postcode lottery

That's what I'd be doing
Can't be too much effort to "rest" the Jag motor in place and take a few pics.

I have changed my engine from the donors but i have got pics of it on a pallet, and pics of the donors engine and the donors engine in the back of the
astra when i delivered it to college.
So long as you take enough pics, it should be fine but i also havnt done IVA yet (hoping for age related)
whats with all the jag engines anyway? Giving me competition
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Id sit the jag engine on some bricks in the engine bay and change it on the v5. They cant say anything then.

Thanks guys, pics, pics, pics it is lots of them and from every possible angle, then a load of BS at the Aberdeen DVLA
Hi Speedyxjs
I thought I might pique your interest when I mentioned Jag engine
I have bought myself a 3 ltr V6 from a 1999 S Type along with the matching gearbox. I will be using a Link ECU to handle the fly by wire throttle and
the VVT.
I was going to get the larger V8 supercharged engine but when I told my wife about it she smiled knowingly. I knew then that she thought I would kill
myself with it so I bought the smaller one just to spite her
My wife is very understanding, she understands that if I am in the garage I am not in the house annoying her.

Is the V6 not a Duratec derivative? May be easier than we think, I'm sure there may be a few of those finding their way into the odd Sierra!

The block is the only 'same' part. All the rest is Jaguar.
