ureet guys gonna do this conversion on my fiesta si what is the insurance like ?

what are people paying ?

Phone up someone like HIC and ask them. It IS different for everyone!

You'll need to be specific about the car the engine was out of (at least I had to be). I got a quote of about £600 with an engine from a 1994 Mondeo 2.0 LX or something like that (can't remember exactly), and that was at 24 years old, with 3 years no claims bonus and 1 fault claim. I never looked into the specifics of which Mondeos had the cheapest insurance groups though, so it could have been cheaper most likely.

As it stands now though, I ended up using an Orion LX 1.8 engine which was much cheaper on the insurance And is still a lot of fun

Just to add. The Orion engine I'm using is from an insurance group 9 car, and 2.0 Mondeos that are also insurance group 9 do exist, however whether these are Series 2 or Series 3 engines, I'm not sure.

So it could potentially be as cheap for me to insure a 2.0 for the same cost, which is around £400. Not bad at all for a rapid combination of car

[Stoned]

Yeah HIC should do it at group 9 prices which is only one above a normal Si anyhow

i am insuring my 2.0 converted Si with adrian flux for £1053 i am 21, been driving just over a year and a half with 1 NCB

thats with all my mods declared aswell ( engine is standard though)

Im 21 and have 3 years no claims and im paying £700 third party fire and theft on my 2.0litre all mods declared with HIC. Took a while to actually find someone to insure me as even the modified places i called were saying "sorry we dont insure engine conversions like that"

Im happy with the price though and they have been helpful on a few things when i call to check if future mods will alter the price/policy.
