Dunlop list the Omega with a 5.7...

...how bizarre that they list it. In case you bought the prototype but aren't sure what boots to put on it, perhaps?

Europe didn't get the Monaro. Britain did.

Nope - nothing to do with the Holden.

Opel tried and suceeded in getting the LS1 into the Omega. Properly prepared for sale, but GM high-ups binned the programme and they came up with the excuse of "cooling problems".

A couple of years later, Vauxhall imported first the 4-door and later the Monaro.

Although the Holden VT platform is based on Omega B, it's a bit longer and a bit wider.
