I just did about 15 min of searching and can't find a thread like you were looking for, but if you dont mind me asking.... why does it matter? If its a crate motor, you know exactly what you're getting.

the car was supplied to the UK from the US as a turnkey kit car. I now need to UK road register it with its correct engine number.
The US supplier doesnt have its engine number recorded or can find from his source paperwork.
Just i thought easier just to pull the number from the engine...nothing easy eh?
