What is the inspection process here?
Will I need the vin of the donor vehicle? Or do I need to source a "car vin"?
As an extra note I already have an F-Body ECU for the project.

I am not sure how to translate this.
Thanks to the "fine print" of the Colorado rules, the car does not qualify as a collector.
Looks like in 2009 they changed the rules. It states that a car must be 1975 or older to be considered a collectors car.
But then turns around an contradicts itself.
Says 32 years old and registered before 9-1-2009.
Now, if I bought it in July of 2013 and it has not been licensed yet, is it now a collector car?
About: Vehicles must be (a) Model year 1975 or earlier; or(b) Model year 1976 or later that was registered as a collector's item prior to September 1, 2009; except that a vehicle so registered is not eligible for registration as a collector's item upon sale or transfer to a new owner; OR (c) A model year at least thirty-two years old unless the vehicle was registered before september 1,2009, and meets the requirements of paragraph (b) of this subsection (2). if the vehicle is being registered under this paragraph (c) and in the program area, as defined in section 42-4-304: (i) The vehicle must have passed an emissions test meeting the standards of part 3 of article 4 of this title within the last twelve months before being initially registered by the owner as a collector's item; and (ii) The owner must sign an affidavit DR 2839 that the vehicle will not be driven on roadways for more than four thousand five hundred miles per year. All taxes and fees shall be five times the annual taxes and fees normally assessed.

Bumping this back to the top.
I should have been a little more specific.
Looking for someone who has done a retro fit swap in Denver CO and has passed all necessary inspections. Tech and Emmisions.

I did a ls1 t56 swap on my G body GP a couple years back passed then BUT failed big time today!! They didn't check VIN numbers, just make sure whatever engine you use has the corresponding emissions equipment for the donor engine, truck engines are not a allowed swap.... if you registered your car as a classic then grandfathered in, I missed out on the classic plates... NOW with my swap I gotta get it tested every years!!
