But how could you ever work on the engine after doing that? :o :o :o

Just take at least half the engine out to get at stuff
like you have to to change the plugs on a V6  ;D :D

LC engine is 3.6 strait 6 Lizzie ;)
LS2 is a V8

Thanks Dave :y :y

I should have known that as I had a Senny, and thinking about I do not think you could fit a V8 in that?? :D ;)
you can fit a V8 in carltons and sennys ,people have many times  :)
and as Omega is a similar size and layout, you can fit a V8 in an omega too
there was one at the Brackley meet with an LS1 in  8)

But how could you ever work on the engine after doing that? :o :o :o

It is bad enough with a V6!

I have a photo of a prototype Omega V8 that they almost introduced, but what a squeeze!! :o :o :D ;)
Bah, loads of room...

There was a hole cut in the bonnet when a supercharger was added, although removing the sound panelling and zone fine tuning might just have done the job* of clearing the throttle body :y

* The hump and vent fitted to cover the hole actually helps get some of the heat shifted, so all good 8)
