Wonder if there is room for that supercharger in the UK Omega - that looks awfully large...

I dont see a real problem with clearing the inner wing.

The LHD conversion is obvious though re. brake master cyl and the cable for accelerator but the cruise is still in the same place.
Also the shorter plenum used....

In addition, I wonder if the engine internals need strengthening?

I would not enviseage it would take much, if any, fettling as the cars are essentially the same with different badging....

Supercharger on a Omega? I think you must have been watching Mad Max, you would proberbly need to lower the compression ratio a tad, fit differant cams, remap the engine management computer, fit a larger exhaust system,bigger brakes, bigger radiator,oh & get some nice brown easy wipe clean seat covers ;)
