It might seem like a 0 mile car to you, but it won't be to anyone you sell it to in the future. Just document what the mileage reads when you do the engine swap or else you'll have a real hard time trying to sell it later.

you will need a new cluster, and a new BCM.

But it is illegial. Don't worry what it says on the clock. Live with it.

Or if you have a GM tech 2. It is the hand held programer that GM uses to test and check cars. With the green key you can do it and change the vin, history, ect... Oh but it is imposible for anyone to get one only dealers but I got my hands on one so I could check codes. They are valued at $5200 with all the cards and programs.

Just use a Hobbs meter (as found on recip aircraft and some boats) and use that to report engine hours. You can legally change the odometer reading (check your states stautes for specifics) as long as you report the change IF you ever decide to sell it.
In Florida, there is a sectiopn on the DMV transfer/title, which allows you to not if the odometer has been changed or tampered with. As long as you don't sell it or report it truthfully, no problem

personally, i think it would look much more impressive to have a 5yo car with 125,000miles that looks brand new, then to have a 5yo car with 125miles, and have people wonder what the REAL miles r, and think i was trying to lie about it...

Shadow is right, there is NOTHING whatsoever illeagal about changing your odometer if you are not going to sell the car. Someone else said it though, get a new cluster w/low milage.
