They only check the engine number at IVA to make sure it corresponds to the engine number you have put on your application and to determine the age of the engine block for emissions criteria (which you have to prove - easily done for Ford Engines). If you want an age related plate with DVLA you will need to submit the V5 for the donor car to prove that the engine you have used originated from the donor car, otherwise you will get a "Q" plate or if you can prove that all components are new, except one major reconditioned part, a new registration.
I have sent you a PM Steve.
Hope that helps....>AndyH
