know how it works if keeping car as it is - ie: engine etc

need to know how it works and if possible if
- get a cat c car
- do engine conversion
- get engineers report ?
- then VIC check
- notify DVLA aswell about vehicle changes

is the engineers report of work carried out (inc engine change ) acceptable as the info on the data base will different from the car when they do the VIC check ??

Thanx

Whats a VIC check? You just send the DVLA the new engine size to adjust your tax and and tell them the new engine number if you wish
