I wasn't really worried about this part but still relieved that it is completed and the process is continuing.

Quick and painless 5 min exam. Wrote down the engine serial number, signed the form, and attached the sticker. Wasn't concerned with trans or t-case or any other parts since it was obviously all custom.

Forwarded a copy of the form to the Safety and Emissions department and now wait for them to issue a "Notice of Registration Acceptability". Then I can take a bunch of paperwork to the local DMV and apply for an official title.

Instructions for Registering a Homemade Vehicle

At some point, I will consolidate my experience.

What happens if you swap engines in the future?

Same as if I swapped any other engine in a pre-OBD2 vehicle - nothing.

I wondered because of the 'wrote engine serial' comment.

Needs a vent tube and some nice bolts/nuts

Also received my official "Notice of Registration Acceptability" letter. Only step left before trip to DMV for plates is the local safety inspection. That's going to wait until wheelin' season.

Now on to finishing...
