....
least with fitting a 3.2 to a pre-2001 shell, the tax goes on the older element of the car, so tax will remain the same

But then as far as insurance companies are concerned, you'll be insuring a modified car, and they don't like modified cars.

That depends purely on the insurance company Some allow a limit on bhp (say 250) for the cost of a standard premium, and upto that level, you can do what you want to the car just aslong as they are aware of whats been done.

When I had the corsa, I insured it for upto 150bhp at no extra cost compared to what it would of been in standard trim, changed the suspension, brakes, stripped the interior out, and tuned the engine upto around 135bhp, and it cost me no extra on the premium!
