If you wreck your V8-modded V6, the insurance company might be happy to deny your claim, citing fraud (you told them you had a V6 car, and had paid a V6 premium). Good luck convincing them (or a court) that they should pay up after you skillfully skirted their rules...
It might vary by insurance provider. If you can't find relevant language in your policy, I would get a signed statement from your agent that they are aware that your car has a different engine, but is still covered under your existing policy. Don't wait until you have an accident to research this!

So if I wrecked a car with an entire carbon fiber body, they would only pay to have sheet metal/fiberglass replaced, and I would have to pay the difference. I'm with State Farm for the time being, by the way.
After all that I have dumped into my car, I only expect my insurance company to do anything that involves a fender bender. I only have insurance so that I don't get a ticket for not having it anyway.
