I said 2.6/3.2 as no throttle cable or EGR (which exist on our 3.0l). On closer inspection it does have SAI like our 3.0l...

So a few differences between our 3.0l and US ones...

Mechanically similar though

Do you know where is best to get them from at this price?

Ah I get it, the brass pipe is the one where the small rubber hoses go to... gotcha!!  Not that straight forward without the pics  

Also I see you have a v6 cam locking kit for loan.  I have just got me a cambelt set with tensioner pulleys etc - good price btw (£84 from Camberley Auto Factors)   Would I be able to borrow the kit from you. I will pay all postage and a contribution to wear and tear

Many thanks

With regards to the 3.0 cams...

Damn good upgrade on the 2.5 (even better with the MTek chip) and these are excellent cams.

Monaro not that common here. Are the brakes much better?

According to my American sources the 2004 Pontiac GTO front brake calipers are a direct bolt-on. The 2005 and later calipers won't fit. The advantages are less unsprung weight and dual pistons for greater clamping power. I suspect the Holden/Vauxhall Monaro shares them but I can't confirm. The Catera's front discs are the same diameter and thickness as the GTO's. Below is a link to Yahoo's Catera Forum where the GTO brakes are discussed, and the only decent pictures I could find of the Catera and GTO calipers.
