    Just out of curiosity - dealer of what?

    Let's say someone has ford and swapped engines. Now it's ford with VW engine. Should he go to ford or VW?

    The car is still a ford unless you manage to change the make and model.

    Make sure you get an engineers report for it too, most insurers won't insure you without one.

    So yet another question - how ford employees would be sure to confirm and certify exact details of engine fitted once they've not enough knowledge about it?

    Ah, look here, don't be applying logic to the situation, this is the internet, what we want here is wild summation and what the fella on the stool beside you last night told you

    From the piece quoted above all they need to do is certify the engine number, fuel and capacity. I'm sure Ford can call VW, or any other manufacturers rep, to verify the capacity. This part has nothing to do with safety it's only paper work, that's why most insurance companies require an engineers report.

    ....and if it's a Rover, or Saab for example any Main Dealer will do.
    Some Insurers may look for a Motor Engineer's Report, many are happy with a Main Dealer's signature & Stamp.

    The local council (for amending Engine Details on VLC) only require a Dealer signature & Stamp.
