Anyone able to confirm the rules regards emissions if the engine has been swapped.
I have just added to my Marlin collection with the purchase of a LWB Hunter which has a dead auto transmission, which was retro fitted by marlin when the car was 2 years old. The engine is a DOHC 8v Scorpio engine (115 PS)which is not ideal, as it needs to come out to sort the box by converting it back to its original manual configuration I am considering changing to a different engine at the same time. Lead contender would be a BMW M20 engine and manual box.
The car was built by Marlin in 97, if I fit an M20 engine from say an 88 year BMW, at MOT what emissions does it have to hit 97 year emmission requirments with a cat or 88 emisssions as per the original BMW.
Any one know the rules on this.
Cheers
John
