the second time was at a car show i went to the cops went thru and looked under the hood and vins on all cars.

is that even legal for a cop to do? they have no right to search your car (or your engine bay) without probable cause or your consent. even if they find out that your vins dont match, you could have legally bought a motor from a junk yard and swapped it into your own car.

this is true with the junk yard motor but you are asked to prove that you have a receipt to show the purchase and what car it came out of like for example you can not swap a ford 2.3l turbo motor from a 87 stang into a 95 stang ,the motor will fit and work but it was not offered in that year or model. and as far as legal all they have to do is say you were not wearing a seatbelt or that they think you may have been street racing or speeding then they have the right to sereach the car , they open the hood and see a blue vacuum line or a big filter and they then have the right to title sereach as long as you can prove everything is legal and nothing stolen ,or pass any emmissions test or sound test (exhaust noise or radio setup) then you are good to go it is a real pain
