What should i show to whom it my concern to proof my engine is legit.
Ok. I bought b18c1 from the guy who totalled his car. And he gave me copy of his car's title to proof that engine. Is it enough for?
take care

Take the vins to the police. If they let you keep it than its legit

so i need to go to the police and show them vin# then i ll find out right?
do i need to record this engine on my title then?
Also how could they find out this engine is not legit after i swapped and putted in my car?

cops cant run the numbers on the engine. my friend got caught street racing and they tried to rn his engine but they couldnt, and even some of my friends that got their engine's bar'd, they didnt even check to see if it was stolen or not

dont get caught.
problem solved.

Why would you need to prove your engine is legit. Its up to the authority to prove its not. This is the USA you know, innocent until proven guilty.

Even if your motor is stolen, the only way they could check that is if the original car that it came in was ever stolen. Someone could sell you thier motor, and 2 years later their car gets stolen with a different motor in it. Your motor is now looked at as stolen.

I had a friend this happened to. He ended up getting the motor back from the cops. I guess it just wasn't something they could prove, but they did take it (it was on the floor at his shop)

Just by you asking about it leads me to believe it's probably stolen, you know it, and you want to cover your ***.

If it were completely legit why would that thought even enter into your mind

I just bought an engine last week and I never even thought twice about whether it were stolen or not. The thought never even entered into my head.

If you are so sure it's legit, then you have nothing to worry about, right?
