They even offered me the Troopers phone number as I protested going to the DMV to do what we could do at the OSP office. Once you are tagged the engine et.al doesn't matter.

Re: Frame Number For Registration
You might consider lifting the body and removing the LH splash apron before the inspection to avoid any surprises. Good to know what they are going to find at the inspection!! Henry said history is bunk.

That may be a good place to "re-stamp" your number. Just pull back the carpeting to show them. Hint: make it look aged

Re: Frame Number For Registration
I am just trying to avoid having to pull the body off. The last thing I want to have is have issues with stubborn bolts and finally et it off to find that the number on there still doesn't match.

If I have to, guess I could haul the old engine in with the rig and show them both. But on the other hand, if I keep the coupe long enough, then I can let my kids worry about getting a "certified" title.

Re: Frame Number For Registration
Good news guys! Turns out the original VIN is on the spare motor. I will have to figure out if a picture of if is sufficient for the DMV or what, but problem solved (theoretically). Thanks for the help guys. I'll update when I get it registered.

Frame Number For Registration

Thanks Tom. I will call the dmv today and ask if that will work. The etching might be a good way to prove I actually have the engine in my possession. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Frame Number For Registration
Couldn't you just use a flappy sander on you're angle grinder to grind off the wrong number, restamp the correct number on the engine, and repaint the area Ford green?

Re: Frame Number For Registration
I suppose I could. I should be fine now since I have the engine with the correct VIN.

Re: Frame Number For Registration
I have a 31 RPU in California...just finished with DMV and highway patrol. I ended up "lifting the body enough to access the frame #. Mine was rusted away too far to reuse. The highway patrol officer added a Reg. number tag on the frame crossover just behind the battery for easy future access. can't be seen without removing the battery access floorboard plate.

Illegal, but it's done all the time.

Re: Frame Number For Registration
I would personally want to know what the frame s/n is on any vehicle I own, or want to own.
Eventually I believe all problems have to be faced. But, evidentlly I am unique. Bob |
