How are you going to explain the big block in the engine bay without an engineers report? I'm not saying you can't register it with the big block, but they won't register it with the 1957 drum brakes on the front. It will need a brake upgrade and an engineers report for the BBC.
As far as the old line of "the RTA have no idea what they're looking at", I don't think the RTA or the mechanic who gives you the blue slip are quite as dumb as some people think.
