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?

crApple can't view that page, but the v8 option is listed in several places. Tis obviously. But also a few other manufacturers still list it ...none of which I can remember as I type this.

i think it was a prototype for the holden and was tested over here at millbrook and muted for release in europe so supplies were sought, and then europe got the monaro,and the 5.7 became the holdern senator me thinks and something else in spankyland.

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.
