Default Re: Renumbering question

Working with the government, is normally a pain in the ass! Renumbering the block is about the only thing that you can do. If the number on the engine matches the paper work, then the car will be registered...if not...many strange things can happen. I purchased a rebuilt engine for my first A in about 1964. The builder put my original engine number on the rebuilt engine and my old engine received the original number that was on the rebuilt block. It would have taken a pretty good Model A person to figure out what had been done. Since the engines are about the same it is a moot point driven by the need to register the car with DMV people who are 'C' students on their very best day! Ernie in Arizona
