Changing displacement and engine number on V5c and insuring afterwards

[shaggy_master]

Hey, I'm going to change the V5c for my vehicle once I've got the engine running safely, this is a simple process and I will be able to do this no problem.

BUT, my question is:
After I've changed the V5c details, my car will be registered as 2.0l.
When I come to take out insurance, will the insurance company's database or whatever bring up the fact its now a 2.0l, or will I still
have to inform them?

Replies from people who've declared mods or engine swaps, or insurers would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Joe

Darchitect or Leigh might be the people to ask, iirc it comes up as a 1.6 with a 2.0 engine not just a 2.0 if you get my meaning.

i told my insurance company also,

i swaped over to adrian flux after the engine swop, and i was less than the previous years insurance.
