They all suffer with that suspension problem, sadly.  Not a cheap fix either, however, it doesn't really affect the ride.

The V8 sounds quite nice, considering it's small capacity.  Not very rapid, though.

Been on here before that has, it would appear no one is biting. I, personally, never trust anyone that turns a car around that quickly.

Seems like a
lot of work to only get 300bhp. And what gearbox do you suggest considering the Seville is FWD?

Anything you can fit to the GM small metric pattern (with a slight tweak) ;) I'm sure there'll be bell housings & adapters available on the other side of the pond..

..that said, it would still be easier to drop an LSx into something as that would all be off-the-shelf.

Yuk! Kill it with fire. ;)

Engine is way too wide to fit in an Omega anyway, well, if you want exhausts, at any rate.
