Wonder if there is room for that supercharger in the UK Omega - that looks awfully large...

You looking for brakes (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cadillac-Steinmetz-Catera-Brake-Set-Calipers-2-Piston_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42605QQihZ011QQitemZ320165248053QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) to go with it?

need a better picture to see if it clears inner wing....

I dont see a real problem with clearing the inner wing.
The LHD conversion is obvious though re. brake master cyl and the cable for accelerator but the cruise is still in the same place.
Also the shorter plenum used....
-
In addition, I wonder if the engine internals need strengthening?

i doubt it would clear the inner wing..

i doubt it would clear the inner wing..
I would not enviseage it would take much, if any, fettling as the cars are essentially the same with different badging....

Nothing a few precision clouts with sammy the sledge hammer wouldn't sort out ::)

Looks very nice that does, like the interior dash and centre console layout, no MID though::)............so that should fit in a facelift aswell then ::)

Supercharger on a Omega? I think you must have been watching Mad Max, you would proberbly need to lower the compression ratio a tad, fit differant cams, remap the engine management computer, fit a larger exhaust system,bigger brakes, bigger radiator,oh & get some nice brown easy wipe clean seat covers ;)

If you check the details re; accessories section, they are already included as an optional extra :y.... ;D ;D.tried and tested ::)

that surley would be too powerfull for the gm v6 plant, i thought it would struggle to cope with more than 250bhp
-
I like it :-*
Must make a cam belt change a bit of a pain in the @rse though.
I wonder if that's a standard AR35 bolted to it?

I think it's an autobox with a centre diff bolted onto the back for the 4wd. Still, the diameter of the autobox section at the front looks pretty hefty. I bet a 6.6L diesel kicks out a few LbFt.
