But how could you ever work on the engine after doing that?

Just take at least half the engine out to get at stuff
like you have to to change the plugs on a V6

LC engine is 3.6 strait 6 Lizzie
LS2 is a V8

Thanks Dave

I should have known that as I had a Senny, and thinking about I do not think you could fit a V8 in that??

you can fit a V8 in carltons and sennys ,people have many times 
and as Omega is a similar size and layout, you can fit a V8 in an omega too
there was one at the Brackley meet with an LS1 in 

But how could you ever work on the engine after doing that?

It is bad enough with a V6!

I have a photo of a prototype Omega V8 that they almost introduced, but what a squeeze!!

Bah, loads of room...

Yep, that picture says everything!

There was a hole cut in the bonnet when a supercharger was added, although removing the sound panelling and zone fine tuning might just have done the job* of clearing the throttle body

* The hump and vent fitted to cover the hole actually helps get some of the heat shifted, so all good

That engine bay is a beautiful work of art

IIRC the seats needed cleaning, though. Well, they did after he let Gixer drive.

I miss your "little chats" as well, they used to amuse me no end😊  and I would tune in most nights to see what was being.......discussed

there was one at the Brackley meet with an LS1 in 

And another about 3m away, albeit it with no steering currently.
