Omega Owners Forum - 3.0 bottom end

JamesV6CDX Omega Baron Offline Posts: 3202 Gloucestershire Gender: Drives: 2002 (02) 3.2 Retail MV6 in Star Silver with Leather	3.0 bottom end 28. Jun 2009 at 20:13 Does anyone have a bottom end only, for a 3.0 v6. If so, how much would you be wanting for it. Just wanting the block, with pistons etc - no cylinder heads or ancils. Preferably from an auto. Do you think with a crane, I'd get a block only, in the back of an Estate car?

Jun 2009 at 20:26 In answer to the last bit...with a crane I can easily get a whole v6 engine in the back of an estate so yes, in fact you will probably be able to get the bottom end into just about any car I have a very good whole engine but the bottom end I had in my garage has gone I'm afraid...

Jun 2009 at 21:11 I've got a complete car that I'm breaking due to head gasket failure. Bottom end is yours for £80. oh and it is off an auto. if you do want it i'd need a few days (with good weather) to get it all out and ready for you though.
