From what I know the ins company will NOT be told abut this Best thing I think you should do is test it as a hot rod Most likly it will pass The motor is smaller displacment and as long as its running right it should be fine also because the car is old the standreds are lower 4 it to pass ---

^^^ I had a brand new motor (KA) and it failed. The Emissions on any vehicle are next to impossible to pass. And test it as a hotrod? You car would have to be classed as a hotrod and that tripples your insurance. ---
