I never had a SVA test when i had mine done, just changed the V5 to 1998cc as someone else said. Insurance asked for a modified vehicle report, but i filled that out myself, they didnt ask for any external verification or anything like that | |

all import cars have to take the sav test as do kit cars. its small things like all protruding nuts have to be radiused and lights work etc etc, I dont think so on engine conversions, just needs to work well and be safe. An engineers report if anything would be needed | |

Do u need a SVA ( special Vehicle Approval) for an engine conversion on a car - Im looking at going from 1.2 to 1.6:thumbs:. My mechanic told me it would need SVA and in general only 8% of cars that take an SVA pass |
