Anything will go in with the work, but a straight swap is another VTR or S

Just wondering.
Do people who put a VTS engine in a VTR declare it with their insurance? I'm sure that increases the premium by quite a bit.

Sorry for posting in someone else's thread, is the 2001vtr a 3 plug as well?
I'm thinking of doing the same swap.

no, but yes. Its a tall engine so amongst all the other issues you will need to address to make it fit, bonnet/sump clearance may be a problem.
