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? Undecided

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

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

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

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. Smiley Thumbs Up!

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? Undecided

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

Might make an interesting alternative to the BMW lump Roll Eyes

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

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  Undecided

Aparently, he dropped them in his own 3.2 and gained a bit more grunt  Undecided

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

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

Are they easy to fit?
