Hi Everyone,
My son is considering putting a 307 Chevrolet motor that he owns into an FJ40 and I am sure I heard somewhere that it is near impossible to get customised vehicles especially those with Chev engines insured.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me.
I'll get him to do the rounds of insurance companies but I just wanted to get any first hand advice for you guys.
Thanks
Brian

What insurance? Fully Comp? or TPFT?
Try for yourself. Call around. See the figures you are quoted, some kids on Oliimts are
well over $1200-1800 - quoted, not many can afford it.
but depends onhis age, and his driving history, and who you actually talk to at the insurance company.
GET IT IN WRITING BEFORE YOU START.

I work on and go bush with lots of other modified, including chev powered, 4WD's, all insured thru TCIS, no problems on mods, so long as they are legal and engineered where aplicable.
One of them is still on P-plates, with a V8 4Runner, including big stereo, which is all insured(agreed value, only way to go) at a very good rate.
On a side note, if it has drum brakes all round, may I strongly suggest a disc brake front conversion.
