I'm starting to explore the whole registration process here in Louisiana and ran into a bump so wanted to ask the forum if anyone has any suggestions.
- LA requires MSO # to match # on the frame. Easy enough, I'll rivet a stamped plate before they do initial inspection since there is nothing there now.
- transaxle receipt needs to show serial number. RCR added it to my receipt, easy and done.
- engine receipt needs to show serial number. I purchased my engine from Pace Performance. They do not put serial numbers on their invoice, nor they will not add serial numbers to the invoice either. Not sure how they even track engines they have. They told me I was suppose to ask them to do this up front, I explained I told the rep what I was using it for and he never offered. I was also told that they don't even open the crates prior to shipping them to customers, which is confusing in itself for other reasons.
So, that's where I'm at. Pace is apparently old school where they print the invoice, scan it in and email it to you. I know I could easily hand write the serial number on the invoice, scan it back in and use it. Or I could Photoshop it on there as well. I'd like to get this done the legit way, especially considering everything I purchased was legit...but I'm out of ideas other than I guess I could sell the engine to my brother and then buy it back from him with a notarized bill of sale? Anyone else have any suggestions?
