What is the legality of putting a non-stock engine into a car in other
countries? For example, does an Alpine have to have a stock engine to
pass the MOT? In the USA the only requirement is that the pollution
standards for the model year of the car be met. This means that it is
legal to put a less polluting engine into an antique car but it is not
legal to put a non-pollution control engine into a modern car. I am not
trying to start a discussion about stock versus non-stock, I am just
trying to understand the laws that other countries have about engine
swapping. Thank you.
