Title: 3.2 conversion in to Omega B
Post by: themac1977 on 10 July 2009, 23:44:05
Anyone on here done a 3.2 swap in to a pre facelift?

What about a 3.2 running throttle bodies and omex?

Got a 1999 2.5 V6 GLS and fancy doing the above swap on it at some point, anyone on here done it yet?

Be easier, esp considering your other threads, to buy the car you want ;)

Changing to a 3.0 (pretty similar power) would be easier.

[size=12] The omega is a 100% project car and not a daily driver, so want to try new stuff.[/size]

As Jamie said mate it's far easier to convert to a 3.0  :y

What g/box would you recommend? Taking in to account I'm going for maximum power! (Don't rule out a turbo / supercharger conversion either!)

I run a 3.0 which is bored to 3.1 and run the standard gearbox AR35 with no issues at all and mine has 263Bhp
