Jasper Engines & Transmissions - used to rep for them in NC - they use all new valve train components, only keeping the crank (polished journals & checked for straightness/demagnetized), Cam, block & heads (checked thoroughly for cracks or issues) - they often built their engines on new blocks...
Use a simple cable pull at the dash to kill the pump... and if you retain the vacuum pump, you can get a rebuild kit if pump needs it instead of replacing the pricey pump.
How's the oil pan chop looking?

I'm not sure that the MVPA is all that interested in anything more than parade and static display status these days - that appears to be the vibe. And the ATHS will most likely give a sympathetic ear, but waffle on assisting, as they aren't running into the ex-MV issues, as far as I've read.
This can easily be resolved if you will simply point out to the DMV officials where in their rules & regulations it is clearly stated that you can most definitely, in no uncertain terms, force them to title/register/tag your vehicle...

I seem to recall hearing in years past that one of the reasons that people were shying away from M35A3's was partially due to newness of the trucks & titling issues from lack of 17-digit VIN?
