I'm pretty sure that car has the full LC running gear transplanted into it.

No really I've got one!
Needs a gearbox though as the Omega V6 box bolts up to the 2.0 Carlton engine but not the straight sixers.

Hang on though... you've got a 2.2 right?  hmmmmmm!   ::)

Hmmm we need to figure that out then.
If the bell housing bolt pattern is the same as the sixers we're on!

I'm sure some brainy bugger on here will tell us.
Wouldn't be a Gold Top by any chance, would it  :y

'Fraid not Dave - if I had a gold top knocking about it would be going in mine.  It would make the conversion alot easier too!
