yeah like said some insurers ask for one some don't.all they do anyway is check to see if it's fitted correctly and you have upgraded all the stuff that goes with it

basically any conversion has to get an engineers report, but that depends on the insurers.
I had to get an engineers report when i changed my old renault 5 into a 1700 diesel.

i was asked by CIS for one when considering the a transplant on my corsa
They said the insurance would be void after the conversion, unless they had an engineers report before i took it on the road.
My brothers insurance firm didnt careless when he dropped a nova into his Valver
