Thats a difficult one, probably best to seek expert advice. Its best to have authorised documents to state when the engine/clocks were changed and why. Its ok while you own it, but come sale time, its going to be difficult to explain why the mileage don't tally up with old MOT's, service history etc. | |

So if I change the engine and the clocks for a Stack unit, I should set the recorded mileage on the Stack unit to read the mileage of the original engine?? | |

Plus it would be an insurance write off. If you re built it with the majority of parts not being original, I think you would need to re register it with a Q plate (don't quote me though) | |

so what would happen if you had a smash and everything got fcuked during it, except the clocks and the gearnob, and the chassis and you decided to rebuild the whole car would you still have to keep the clocks the same if you bougt all new parts?? would never happen but what if it did? | |

yeah, but what if you bought new clocks at the same time? | |

I'm 99% sure you should leave it as it is, its an offence to wind back the clock for any reason. However, you can add a note to the history of the car saying the engine was fitted at xxx ammount of miles. | |
