Ooh yes please.

I stumbled across a place near Birmingham recently who have a lot of experience dropping LS engines into things; RX-7s, BMWs.. could just drop the Omega off there and pick it up done  :y


If I had the money :(

Few companies about, there quite a few of the MX5 equivelants in the states with V8's in them, seems the chevy 350  was a commonly fitted engine.

There was also a place a silverstone called the V8 conversion comany that made adapter plates to drop rover V8's in to land rovers, bettles and quite alot of other cars from what I remember.

Plus in Doncaster there is/was a company that would build you a dragster from scratch and fit a crate engine, or just fit you the crate engine in what ever vehicle you wanted (if there was the space)

Also seen a Dutton Pheaton kit car fitted with a chevy 350 and 2 speed auto, that went like the wind even with out the nos turned on, seems it was a pretty quick car at the pod, I saw the results for it but cant remember the speed/times and that was road legal.
