DVLA will want to know the new engine number, that's it if you're not changing it for a bigger/smaller/different engine

Insurance company??

I only told the DVLA when I did my engine swap, unless you've upped the CC's I dont think the insurance would be bothered

the only physical difference once you've transplanted will be that the engine number on the case won't match the V5, send off the old V5 with a covering letter explaining the situation to the DVLA and you should get it back no problems

Just tell the DVLA by completing the V5 and sending it in. As said, unless you are going to drop in another engine type of up the bore no one else needs to know by law.
