Re: new engine
That's a good point, I just checked my engine number against my insurance paper, they don't match. When I get time I'll pull the floor up and check the number on the frame.

My car is already registered. I had a title and paperwork so I went into the DMV and got a new title and registration. They never even looked at the car.

Re: new engine
It can, but I'd like a new one to put in the car while I'm rebuilding the current one. That way I have as little down time with the car as possible.
