NY registration..kinda bummed!

[mnm99]

Just got off the phone with field investigations in NYS... 1-845-691-7686 Extension #105. This is what he told me. Right from the horses mouth. Motor wise I could either buy a crate motor. I would need a certificate origin for that. Not just the receipt. Motor at a junk yard has to have the VIN number written on the receipt. A bare block without any of that will not pass. Meaning if I find a bare block and have it built I will have a problem. Same goes with transmission. If I go with Tremec transmission I need a Certificate of origin from them. If I bought it through Summit they would have to give it to me. If I buy it used from someone it will not pass.

If anyone has more they want to share, PM me or call me 631-235-3227

Thanks

There is no "Certificate of Origin" for a new Tremec. We give NYS a copy of the invoice from the supplier for a crate engine. If it is a Ford Racing crate, a tracing of the stamped plate attached to the block will speed the process. We once had a field inspector question a used Tremec as it did not have a VIN, we explained it is "aftermarket" and will not have a Vehicle VIN any more than a replacement wiper blade would have one. They accepted that.

I called Tremec and they said once I get the trans they could send me a COO. That's the least of my worries though. It's the engine block if I don't go with a crate like Ford racing. I was told from a builder in NC that they stamp there number on the block and that goes on the receipt. That works for when they ever had to do it. Waiting for nick to call back with more details.

We have turning the customers copy of a sales invoice from Southern Automotive for a couple of our customers and all went fine with NYS DMV.

Use "SAE ST 69" for the number on the Lucas rectangular rear lamps.

For "Padded dash and four way flashers" we have indicated "N/A" (not applicable) due to year of representation of replica" and had no problems.

I bought a relatively stock 94 Mustang motor from a salvage yard in GA, had no VIN because the block was reconditioned and the VIN was shaved off. Jamaica DMV passed me since I had a receipt, so passing the test may be a matter of luck.
