Generally speaking, sanctioning body regs require equipment to meet the VIN. It is very common for racers to build cars with the desired equipment and then find a suitable VIN for it.

It is not "illegal" if the car will be race-only, however its "compliance" depends on the sanctioning body regs and how it's built.

These days, most historics groups (even SVRA) are looking sideways at builds, and almost nobody seems to do any compliance checks other than safety. I could build a "474" chassis and slot in a 3.2L and they'll let me play with the 911s, thanks-for-your-entry-fee.

Some still cling to the "sanctity" of the regs, but that's unusual these days. But how will you ensure compliance, anyway? Who's going to tear down a hisotirc car's engine to ensure it's a 2L versus a punched-out 2.4?

That said...I suggest that the VIN (and title, if included) is worth half the value of the car itself. Theseus' Ship, and all that...
