Default Insuring a swapped motor

Say you were to get a civic or any car, and swap in a different car's motor.

Example. a DC4 with a b16 in it? do you have to insure it as an SI or as an integra?

Thanks.

i'd say ask insurance people, they'd probly have you pay through the nose cause you'll fall into the higher risk category just cause you modded your car... but there is also the insurance you could get for a show/race car where you pay more but you get specifically what you say is in there... downside is I believe you get mega-reduced allowable mileage... like 100max...

ask insurance ppl.
