Insurance on swapped engine?
I'm looking to get an eg with an H22 in it, but I have a few questions first.
What do I tell the insurance companies?
If I lie and get in an accident, will they not only refuse to cover me but also someone I may have hit because of the engine?
Thanks!

you got it
depends on the company
my buddy had a swap, got into an accident (only his car involved) insurance only paid him for what his stock car was worth, and dropped him and put up a red flag for future insurance at any other companies.
Its best to let them appraise your car. They will bump the $$ but you will be covered, or they can simply not cover you, its their choice.

For an appraisal will someone just come and check everything and then tell me what I'm going to be paying?
How much more can I expect to pay for having a swapped motor?
