hi
i was just perusing insurance sites seeing which cars are insurable for me and i tried a cavalier sri (with 2.0 8v transplant in mind) and i got a very good quote! what is the situation with transplanting an engine into a corsa and insuring it? obviously it will go up a bit but how much? i have heard that the insurers base it on the donor car?
any help would be good!
thanks
tom

i can see how this may be confusing! but i don't want a cav sri - i want the engine out of one to put in my corsa! i think if the insurance companies want to scam more money, they will have thought about this too

topshot^^ thanks for the info i'll try them tomorrow, but it might be different since the 2.0 is a non corsa engine
