My original Project was going to be putting a 3.0 Omega engine into an Escort Cabriolet. We thought making it rear wheel drive could have been rather a big task so decided to keep it front wheel drive.
So a donor V6 Vectra was found for the gearbox etc...
After much consideration We decided I could find myself with a branch in my eye on the first corner

I collected last night my new Project from Josh Wyatt, who I might add is a lovely Genuine Guy, you can't say that about many Car Traders can you! If you see a car you like that Josh is selling, I don't think you will go far wrong plus he will certainly look after you.

I will be taking pictures as I go

I know what it is....nah, nah, na, nah, na

[tunnie]

that facelift Josh had is a nice basis, looked almost mint inside!

I am going to vote V8 using GM docs we already have with either the 5.7 or 6.0....

Its the only possible engine upgrade from 3.2 V6

No but coppers make them selves right   

Can't be a cabriolet, thats just not going to work.... humm not sure what other engine would suit Omega, other than LC 3.6, can't see you putting a big diesel in  :-/
