if you where to do an engine conversion how do you go about it with the dvla to regester it on the road so it is 100% legel? and what are the rules and regulations to doing conversions yourself etc....

from what i know, you need both original and new engine numbers and a letter on headed paper from the garage where the engine conversion was done.
if you done it yourself or previous own did it, go to your local mot station and ask them to 'MOT' it to verify that it is roadworthy.
dvla may ask you to bring the vehicle to a VOSA test centre to have it thougherly inspected

out of interest, c16xe into what?
if its a 1ltr 3cyl then i wouldnt bother, look at my project corsa, its a ball ache, easier and cheaper to buy a 1.6 and swap any good bits accross

Mine took ages to be confirmed for my xe conversion but I didn't send off proof until I got a letter back asking for it, once I sent off an invoice for the engine swap from Jamsport with the engine number I still had to wait 3 weeks more for dvla to get off ther arse
