From a practical standpoint, you have a similar situation with a person who has a highly modified Model T Ford Roadster or "T Bucket" with a Chey engine.
I think a law enforcement officer would go with whatever your DMV Registration states as model, make and year. A friend has a fiberglass buggy body on a 1963 VW pan. His DMV Registration describes it as a 1963 VW CONV (convertible). My 1969 Baja Bug DMV Registration describes it as a 1969 VW SD (sedan).

I believe, unless you have an old vehicle that is registered by motor number only or a combination of motor number and frame number, having an engine other than the original type made for the vehicle is incidental if your vehicle is smog exempt.
Perhaps Allen will tell us more.
