It'll fit. Omegatoy fitted its big brother to an Omega B ie a Lotus 3.6 which is based on the C30SE lump.
I think you'll get someone on here saying you'll opps the handling up though due to the extra weight of the straight 6 over the Omega B's V6

Buy a 3.0 Omega .... less work & you'll have a standard car.

Insurance companies aren't keen on non-standard cars. And who do you sell it to once you've had enough of it? You then need to find someone who also likes non-standard cars.  :-?

No point,iirc the engine is slightly less powerful than the 3.0v6.
Major transplant job for no benefit.
