looking good mate glad to see you finaly got round to putting the pics up

[BazW]

like the way it looks standard from the outside.whats it sound like?

[Brett]

I saw it on the vxlscc stand at billing mate. fair play I like it a lot!

[Jon S]

Wow nice a 3.0l mated to an F20 ...very cheeky , .i imagine there's bags of torque to play with?

[Kris]

Looks very nice mate ,how much work was involved in the whole conversion from the start with the 2.5 ?.

[REMUS]

Now that is very impressive, I would love to do this conversion myself but I imagine it has cost you a bundle and a half! Is there room for a super charger and a n2o controller in there

You don't see many mk2 v6's, did you do all the work on it? And what car is the v6 out of?

[_SBD16v]

from the looks of it the first engine would have been a cav or calibra v6 and the second one being a 3lt and with that induction manifold would be a omega elite ????

[Gander]

Sweet, how much of a squeeze was it to get in? Did it go in on the existing mounts?

[REMUS]

come on more info dude what happened to the old v6?

[caul pope]

Very nice dude and really standard looking from the outside.
Agree Gander real squeeze.
Must be very happy with the 1/4 mile time!
Any more mods to the beafy engine?

[Xedrah]

The original conversion nearly 6 years ago cost me a fair bit but i've had sooo much fun since i don't regret a penny of it.
Not too sure about the supercharger or NOS, i think traction would start to become a serious issue though, lol.
I have to put my hand up & admit to having the 2.5 engine fitted for me by Courtenays, i've never really had the space or time to carry the work out myself though as you can see, i managed to fit the 3.0 all on my tod outside the back gate whilst dodging rain etc. The whole job cost approx £400 including purchasing the new, unused engine

No squeeze at all really, always get lots of comments regarding how much room there is in the bay. The front g/box from a GTE 2.0 8v is used as this sits the engine further back than a 16v item would, the offside mounting is fabricated & uses a Cavalier mount.
