So I just completed my 3sgte swap and I am curious as to what I should insure it as. Also what have others with swaps done. Also I did a full brake conversion. Or should I just leave it as an ST and be done with it?

Has your insurance company ever asked what motor you had in the car before? They don't really care, they don't insure the mechanics of the car. If you tell them about the motor, they'll either jack your rates to unreasonable levels or drop you altogether for being too high risk.

Certain companies are exceptions and will insure the swap but on the whole, just don't mention the swap. As Stambo said, it doesn't take much damage to total these cars out anymore.
