Swapping in new engine: California DMV registration forms?
I'm looking to do a complete legal swap of a B16A3 into a 1995 Civic. It's my understanding that a different engine requires some kind of DMV form to be filled out so that upon registration the engine's serial number will be tied in to the car's VIN.
I searched the dmv.ca.gov website and did not find any forms for registering an engine. Does anyone know the form REG#? Thanks...

Bringin' back an old thread.
Just wondering if you ever found the proper dmv forms to register your new motor w/ your vehicle. I searched the CA DMV website and can't find a motor title transfer form either.
Anyone know what paperwork is needed to buy a motor out of another vehicle in CA? I've searched and several people have mentioned needing a bill of sale. I'm sure DMV has this type of form, but I can't find it.

I got my motor off craigslist with no paper work. I ran the serial number through the chp and they said it was clean. Then I took it the BAR station and it passed and he said I shouldn't have any problems with registration or police.
