   shouldn't do.
   
   But I'd register it asap otherwise you will get caught out - the punishment wouldn't be worth the risk of not registering it.
   
   All you have to do is register a change in engine number - the cc will stay the same.

   It may affect your insurance but yiou will be worrying about the hefty fine off the police and lack of car after they take it off you rather than the increase in insurance.

   It will pass the mot with a conversion, they only check its roadworthyness. I had an Xe in my corsa that flew thru no problems that I declared after, but if the police have a look your fucked they can and will confiscate your car cos its not insured properly, they can even crush it!!

    they wont-VOSA will!!!
    you're mad mate.i guarantee you,you'll think "Ah I'm gettin away with this,I'd be a fool to declare it!"NOT! All it takes is a roadside vosa check etc.think thats what they call em. Insurance will go apeshit as well.No worth it IMO
