That looks VERY impressive bjc!  

Now that it is transverse, does it accommodate easier maintenance, being able to obtain easy access to both the front and rear of the block? :-/ :-/ :-/

thanks for the comments.just to answer a few questions.
the car was standard 2.5v6sri.the engine conversion was carried out by 2 guys that i got to know on another forum.they are both time served technicians who work on the v6 engines at the vauxhall plant in elsemere port.in there spare time they do alot of work for members on vvoc.they have vast knowledge of the v6 engine and there work and prices are second to non.see at www.v6technicians.co.uk
when doing the conversion its basically the 3.0l heads and block that are used.all the rest of the vectra 2.5 bits eg(intake system) fit onto the 3.0l omega engine.
the plenums from the 2.5 were sprayed gold with smoothrite aerosol and the vectra metal cam covers black
