Thanks you two that clears up a lot! It's just I too am thinking of going the Zetec route - building the car is a lot of work to end up with a Pinto engine (and yes, I know why the book car has a Pinto Chris). I'm assuming with an engine from another source you haven't enough 'points' to get the donor reg? So is there any way of avoiding the Q-plate apart from the old dodge of putting the donor engine in, doing SVA & reg, then changing the engine? Would I even want to avoid a Q-plate? What are other folks doing about this?
Chris
