Engine and gearbox = 3 points.
What are you trying to do? register a new kit or change the engine in an existing one?
For a new kit, the DVLA want to know the age of the "vehicle" used as a donor. To get an age related plate you need 2 major components
and a V5 for the donor vehicle. the major components are engine, transmission, both axles, all suspension and steering.
I guess that both axles and steering from your car or engine and gearbox from your bike will do. Otherwise you have to have a Q plate, indicating
that the vehicle is of unknown age. The DVLA will want to inspect it in any case.

Hi if you have a reg already
just send the new engine number and the cc on the v5 I think you need a form from the post office
This is what I did for the R1 mini

If it puts you into a lower taxation class (sub-1300cc?) you may have to provide photographic evidence of cubic capacity, e.g. capacity casting on
block - I had to do this going from Pinto to CBR. They were very helpful and not obstructive. Just check the engine is not from a stolen recovered;
may cause a few issues.

Proof of engine change and size would be better on a letterhead from MOT station with their embossed stamp on it. A photograph might not be evidence
enough for DVLA.

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
