Is there likely to be any issue with emissions from the V8, as it will have to comply with the registration date of the van - not the date of the engine?

My P100 was on a Q plate 1990 registration and that used to get tested as a 1990 - even though the engine was a 2.0 pinto from a 1976 Transit. It passed but...

Oh no, last month I took a ton of V8 bits to the tip, rocker boxes cylinder heads, power steering pump, water pump, sump, Twin carbs and manifolds when I cleared out my old garage................. :-( Sorry
It takes thousands of nuts to hold a Transit together but only one nut behind the wheel to distribute them all over the road...
