Differential Question
« on: 20 September 2010, 17:34:06 »
Would i need a new, tougher Diff if i were to upgrade to a V8 LS1 when mated to a Tremec T56 6speed box???

The current part is suited to the car as a 2.0 16v straight 4 with no mods, just standard factory BHP.

Why oh why was there never a V8 Omega????
Such a missed oppurtunity.
Look forward to the Cadillac ATS & ATS-V. Maybe a re-badged one will replace the Miggy as a RWD runner?

you can adapt an Omega B rear subframe to fit a Lotus-Carlton diff easily.

as luck would have it, I've got the diff off the Holden at the moment, so I'll check if that would fit, too.

Nice one, this would help if it were to fit with little or no modification.
