Taking this idea a step forward...

Would the heads/cams/manifolds from a 3.6 lump liberated from say an accident damaged cadillac cts fit on an Omega 2.6/3.2 block? :-/

For a variation, the top end from a 3.8 v6 with supercharger onto a 2.5/3.0? :-/

I'd have thought that suitable donor cars would still be readily available around East Anglia. :-/

The 3.6 lump is an oldsmobile pushrod 12v lump if I'm not mistaken?

Very different lump so no.....thats the global V6 ala the 2.8 Vectra

[Kevin Wood]

Ignore the above. That was the 3.8.

Just for the sake of clarification. Im not personally fitting these parts to my car. I want to sell them in the near future, but I want to ensure I dont sell someone parts which arent suitable for their engine etc.
Interesting to hear about the exhaust fanimolds.

I take it then that the veccy v6 (2.8 et al) is different again to the v6 in the Omega, or could the 2.8 turbo be dropped in? :-/

For the diseaselists, how much effort would be needed to replace the 2.2dti with a 3.0 cdti v6? :-/

Might make an interesting alternative to the BMW lump

I ask the questions as might be an easier upgrade than the V8 route, tempting though that is.

A few years ago, i was told by a traffic cop that the 3ltr cams have a slightly move agressive profile then the 3.2 cams  :-/

Aparently, he dropped them in his own 3.2 and gained a bit more grunt  :-/

[albitz]

Not according to MarkDTM. 

[omegod]

Aren't the 2.6 and 3.2 camshafts line bored in the heads? Don't know if that would be a prob though.

[albitz]

Pretty sure all v6 heads are line bored for cams.Its ok as long as you keep the cam caps with the head, so Im told.

Nah, the inlets are the key ones and they are the same 

[Ray_Tupper]

Will these cams work in my 2.2?

[Entwood]

Will these cams work in my 2.2?

yes .. but might need a small modification .. easy enough with a hacksaw and file .. 

[Ray_Tupper]

So I should get some of these and I can make them fit.

Are they easy to fit?
