yep im sure you could fit the engine but as soon as you tell your (or his) insurence that the engine has been changed for a non standard engine regardless of the engine size the insurence will go up

You could always ask to speak to the underwriter of the insurance co, I had the same issue when insuring my mk1 mondy auto, just rebuilt the engine, 1st oversize pistons, new shells etc etc all std, but they insisted it was modifed, can see their point tbh as it is modified from how ford made it, spoke to underwriter at Privelege she was a right car nut knew her nuts and bolts ok, insured then no bother at all.
