Has anyone imported any engines from the uk? Was there anyway to check the engine is not nicked or issues getting it regoed in oz? |

Only drama I'm aware of locally is some UK engines have the numbers riveted on, not stamped. Gotta be stamped to the block for use out here. |

Well that's the way BMC did it when they were building new cars.... I seem to remember I had to get a Blue Slip (it was 25 years ago) and show a receipt for the purchase of the engine. Once I had those, the RTA changed the numbers on the rego certificate. Cheers, Ian |

Meh, nobody cares. My car has an MG Metro engine in it that still has the riveted on plate. Sailed through rego. |

They don't really care about the engine number to much, as long as it is the "Correct" engine for the car and that it has a number. |

Plenty of personal import Minis still have their aluminium plate. Tim |

V6 Volvo had a little Aluminium plate with engine number on the side of the block too. They were never refused Rego. It is quite a common practice. |
