im thinking of getting a recon engine for my 1.4 but putting a 1.2 in as the 1.4 are just crap how would this affect my insurance ? as the insurance would geta 1.4 off the reg how do i prove it has a 1.2 engine and would this be classed a modifiying it?
 
Having seen the engines and some of the parts eg. manifold/ frontpipe I don't know how straightforward a job this would be. Yes it would be classed as a modification and you would have to inform DVLA and insurance. Would it not be cheaper and easier to sell and buy a 1.2 car? Or try fitting a bigger engine eg. 1.6/2l?
 
Completely different layout for the cars. Would be very very costly to do so. It would work out miles cheaper just to buy a new 1.2.

Conversions are only really worth it if they are a straight swap or you are putting something in that cant be bought (ie coupe turbo lump in bravo)
