Omega General Help / Engine replacement advice please
« on: 09 July 2021, 21:35:40 »
I have a W reg estate that had the 2.5D engine. The engine has had catastrophic internal damage following oil loss or burn issue. I had always wondered about installing a V8. My understanding was that the engine bay could accommodate as the US version was originally planned around this. Car currently at professional garage belonging to a friend who is able to help with the work, but, would need a plan.
1. Has anyone in the UK attempted this?
2. If so was it accepted by the DVLA?
3. Was there a need to upgrade the diff?
4. Is this a really stupid/dreamer idea and best to replace like for like?
Sorry for the left field questions - thanks in advance for reading.
