Hmmm not sure about the Chevy V8 - so heavy, would prob have to stiffen suspension up front

How would i go about "massaging" the V6? Im quite new to the Omega, used to Holden Commodores

Thanks for the link Kevin,

From what i gather most people think its probably a bad idea

I didnt realise the huge power difference between the V6 & the V8 - i thought they would be similar, & perhaps the lighter alloy block on the V8 would bring some good advantages.

Anyway, thankyou for casting your eye accross my post & your good advice.

Cheers.  Bill.

Hello to all out there,

Has anyone dropped a rover V8 into an Omega successfully (& legally?)

Ive got the Omega & ive got the Rover V8, Now i need the processes to bring them together, if anyone has done this a heads up on the tough parts would be much appreciated.

Im assuming getting the engine in & running is the easy part but sorting out electrics & dash instruments will be a real bugger.

Then of course the MOT reqirements (minefield time)

Cheers people, any info would be fantastic.

Thanks. Bill.

Ive been looking at some of the cars on the website & also the pics youve all got beside your postings... wow! there are some lovely machines out there.
 I moved here to the UK 8 years ago from New Zealand where i was a full on Holden freak, i bought myself an Omega cause it was the closest i could get to a Commodore over here... i didnt realise you could do so much with them, ive seen some absolutely stunning machines on this site.

Well done guys, hope i can one day do the same with my machine.

  HELLO TO YOU ALL OUT THERE, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKYOU TO YOU ALL OUT THERE FOR FREELY PROVODIDNG YOUR ADVICE & EXPERTISE, ITS A HUGE HELP.

I HAD A DIS LEAD GIVE UP ON ME A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO & I WAS TOLD BY A FEW PEOPLE THAT ITS A REAL B%$*H OF A JOB & ITS GONNA COST ME HEAPS,I SAW WHERE IT WAS POSITIONED IN THE ENGINE BAY (2.5 V6) & INSTANTLY BELIEVED THE SAME.

OUT OF DESPIRATION I SEARCHED THE INTERNET  FOR A DIAGRAM OR SOMETHING TO MAYBE ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO & I CAME ACCROSS YOU GUYS... ALL THE INFO I NEED IS RIGHT HERE IN THE FORM OF REALLY HELPFUL TUTORIALS & GENERAL ADVICE FROM GUYS WHO HAVE DONE IT ALL BEFORE.

I THOUGHT "BUGGER ME - IM GONNA GIVE IT A GO"

20 MINUTES AGO I CLOSED THE BONNET ON MY NOW SWEET RUNNING OMEGA...IT IT COST ME A TOTAL OF £30!!!

IM NOT MADE OF MONEY & IM SO HAPPY IVE SAVED A BUNDLE & LEARNT SOMETHING AS WELL.

THANKYOU OMEGA OWNERS EVERYWHERE.
