Is it possible to fit a Rover sterling 1995 2.7 auto petrol engine (made by Honda) into a face lift Opel Omega 2.2 petrol auto and if so would it be necessary to swap the auto box as well? The reason I ask is that the Honda engine is perfectly good and the one in the Omega has died but the body work is in very good order. ???
-
Anything is possible, but going to have a nightmare electrics wise surely?
Would it not be easier to source an engine that was fitted from factory?
-
Nothings imposible but there would be a hell of alot of work involved.
It would be easier to replace your engine with another 2.2 ;)
Edit ................ Ok tunnie, yes you can type faster then me lol

Wasnt the Rover FWD as well ?
-
Weren't the 800s front wheel drive?

8 seconds apart! ;D
-
yes, pretty close. but same thought
FWD to RWD conversion. alot of agro there
ie transverse to longitudinal
-
The amount of work involved, I wouldn't.
Add to that, the Honda engine is nasty, and IIRC, a 3 speed auto with a shift measured in geological time.

Yep. Just get a V6 Omega.

I believe it still holds the record of taking me to the most daft speed achieved on a public highway when an incredibly stupid hire car company decided to give a 23 year old me the boss' car instead of telling me to eff off, and that they haven't got any more 1.6 Escorts available. ;D
But that aside, it's sh1te. :y

for the hassle might as well put omega v6 in or another 2.2 not only hard doing engines but on modern cars you got lots of electrickery!! I know Rover you on about is front wheel drive. Put a v8 in my rover p6-would have been easier to buy one!!
