insurance wont even check!!
Look at the red corsa, was a 140 bhp tuned 1.6 and 1.4 on the books! Insured it as a 1.4 as well, and they spent ages checking the engine bay and they didnt even know, the guy asked what the mantzel was and i just said oh thats the inlet manifold! Nothing about performance!
So just shows how easily you can get away with it

Ask Tony aka Half Pint about his SRi when he crashed that 
He had 6 points, loads of mods none declared and they paid out

Yeh thought about not telling them and that and if i did it would deffo not boter telling them really!
But the thing with my engine is i know it i know its a good engine and that, dont wanna get another engine and it to be a crap one!
Plus its the cost of the swap anyway! I know it aint much but its still a cost!

This is a totaly different kettle of fish though, going from a X14XE to a X16XE.
The engines look the same and the only way they will ever know if its a different engine is if they take the head off and measure the size of the pistons, are they likely to do this? No way
Where as my conversion, 1.0 8v carb engine to a 1.6 16v fuel injection engine they are going to know straight away that my engine is'nt a 1.0 8v hence why its insured as a 1.6 16v.
I would insure a engine conversion on all my cars but not if I had a 1.4 16v and was changing it for a 1.6 16v, pointless they would never find out.
