DVLA engine changes

[marks]

I am building my lwb cabrio from a 1990 sierra but putting in a 16v 2l ford scorpio unit 1996 vintage. How do I ensure I keep my k reg plates.
Also any clues on emission regs for sva.ie If I put on webers , how does it affect emissions requirements. Any other tips re build .

For emissions purposes only, kit cars and amateur built vehicles first used before 1 August 1998 and Wankel rotaryengined vehicles first used before 1 August 1987 are to be considered first used before 1 August 1975. Kit cars and amateur built vehicles first used on or after 1 August 1998 ("S" reg) are required to obtain Single Vehicle Approval and should be tested to the limits stated on the registration document.
