stroked engine in my Pantera

If you really cant convince the TÜV people that your engine has no numbers then I am afraid that you will just have to punch some digits in that Block your self. But I am surprised if they insist on engine numbers on a foreign car that is over 40 years old?

the engine mod should not be a problem for German TÜV. The Stroker nobody can see nor will it be represented in the Kraftfahrzeugschein. You will get a normal 351 C in the books 270 HP and 5.6 liter speed 245 km/h.
Heads..should be ok as this are (presumaly) high compression heads and you claim they where available in the 197x..(Aussie's I guess those days where avail.).
IMPORTANT is more the body and the RIMS.... and tires (tires is big issue..only AVON but wrong speed index..so here you have to sheet)
There is (nearly) NO approval on 16" or 17" or even 18" unless you have deep connections in TÜV.
ORIGINALITY is the topic to make it an "oldtimer by law" = less tax and insurrance (500€ ins., 250 tax)
I did go just for my nice Corvette C2 conv. through the same procedure with TÜV, the Pantera VIN 4907 will follow in Spring 2017..
if you have issues send me a private mail ..i am becomming an expert..

Into The Netherlands we dont have any of those problems whit classic cars for registration.



Newer cars goes first by the German Dekra or TUV and get a German registration , than the car is alowed by the EU and we register it into The Netherlands .

the issue is if you have German residency hence need for a German license plate. If you want "oldtimer" fees apply you need a German audit done which states cars is older than 40 years and more so it is ORIGINAL. With that sheet you get non expensive registration.
Motor as I said is normally not the issue is more Body work and interior, and overall appearence - so no crap rost all over etc...
