04. Jul 2007 at 21:14

hello everyone my name is lee

after driving a few and servicing 1 or 2 ive finaly got myself an omega 2.5 v6 1997 in silver.
i got this car cheep off a friend, its in very good condition apart from the fact that he blew the engine on it
im un sure what to do with the engine though
do i rebuild and maby do a few mods to the engine Undecided

or go the whole hog and stick a 3 litre in it

i am undesided as i havent done much work on omegas and i dont know what else would need to be changed if i put the 3 litre in it ( ie ecu, wireing loom etc ) any advice would be most welcome

The problem with Landrovers is keeping the oil in and the water out.
