would it not be fraud if you sold it or deception if you entered it in a concours show ?

You would use the original number if the engine was reconditioned at home, so what's the difference? I would say none! Besides, who on earth would know/care?---there may be a slim chance that the original number is in use somewhere but------

As far as DVLA etc are concerned -you don't NEED an engine number! And it won't make the car one penny more valuable if it 'has' the original engine (number) fitted.

What are the details of your car?

Might be easier to obtain an engine of similar age(?)
