Hello everybody,
I am on the hunt for a Vauxhall Monaro Engine but i dont even know where to look.
Any ideas or does anyone know someone whos got one for sale?
This will be going inside my Omega by the way (hopefully).
At the moment i cant find one on ebay but do you think the scrap yard will?
Thanks,
Jamie

I think you'll be hard pressed to buy one in this country - not that many came over.
May be better trying to import one from Aussie?

i'll have to keep checking for one, one will turn up in the end ;)

has anyone on here done it before or will i be the first?
I might try and do a photoshop pic of the engine to see what it might look like.
I wonder how much it will effect the performance?

The 5.7 was an LS1, the later 6.0 is the LS2......
And yes, a certain Vx piece of software has every detail you could ever want regarding fitting a V8 in the Omega.....because they did it and then canceled the launch at the 11th hour.

No but, it has all the technical info, diagrams etc for engine fitting, removal etc and major work on a car built with one fitted......which is obviously very useful for a conversion job.

You'll go from the performance of a dead frog, to a dead frog with a huge stick of bang bang shoved up its arse on a short fuse!

Consdering you can get a decent facelift for 1k, +4k for the engine.
Odds and sods, say total 6k, you have a BMW M5 type performance for 6k!
Do it mate.. if i was rolling in wades of cash i would do it!
I would also keep the styling standard.... and leave the 2.2 badge on ;)

I know someone selling an LS2 extremely cheap at £6995, he paid over 8k to import it and it still on the ship so u could get yourself a bargin!
naa there wont be much, u wont even feel the extra 300 horses :y but it will make a nice noise.
P.s. who you getting to do the work?

My brother in law is a mechanic and my dad has done engines before so they will be doing it + me.
I dont mind about the performance, as long as it looks good and souns nice :y

You should write a guide ;)
Guessing you'd need the rear dif & shafts, prop, gearbox, brakes all from a monaro aswell...
Wondering if this 'program' mark is going on about is the one which has an 'online' version accessible via a link on the TC sit, and is via a subscription...

This kinda job is way beyond most mechanics skill level (no offence intended), you'll be needing a fabricator with lots of motorsport background, and an auto electrition, then a mechanic with lots and lots of patients!
Ive been looking into this alot and it would be easier (and cheaper) to import a holden V8 and make it look like a omega. but then again an actual omega V8 would be the dogs dangles! :y

I understand, i'll cross that bridge when i come to it. I'm just planning at the moment.
Thats a good idea, i'll bear that idea in mind and that would be the dogs dangles ;D :y

Yes, though the online one is always out of date. Though for this, the age is not important.

so all in all, apart from the car and engine, what would i need to get, parts wise and how much do you think it will costs
-
I would have thought you would be making your plans from the ground up, with the bigger considerations being handling (wheels/tyres/suspention) of the extra power on the move, and then the braking as I would have thought you were having to cope with at least 50% + extra power (dunno what the Monaro output is, sorry)
Am looking forward the the pictures when you start building.
Just thinking, Have a chat with B+H Autokraft in Doncaster they do a lot of yank V8 coversions. Run the idea past them (they may be cheaper than you thinkk for the LS engine as well) whilst chatting they will let you know the area's to pay attention to.
I have had a tour round thier place and at the time they were fabricating the frame work for 2 dragsters and building a 3000BHP Supercharged engine for one of them.
They have all the contacts for impotigng the Engines and boxes etc.
Deffo worth a chat with at least even if just to locate an engine.

Here is a sight worth visiting.

I will not fit without MAJOR engine bay work.
The Monaro and Commodire was based on an Omega chassis, BUT it is modified making it longer and wider thats why the LS1 and LS2 V8 fits.
If you are intent on buying the engine then look for a Pontiac GTO from 2004 (IIRC) onwards as this is the re-badged Monaro in he USA
There is an Astra coupe with the GTO engine being (been) built, its taken ages and cost a fortune.
Your best bet is to buy a VT or VX Commodore as it has almost the same looks as an Omega and comes with the GenIII LS1 V8.
But if you want to chuck money at a car a far easier conversion is the Lotus Carton twin turbo engine, been done before but sameish power for a lot less money

I was thinking of a lotus carlton engine but i want something a bit different. I've seen a carlton engine in an omega before and it does look good but i really want this particular engine because
1./ I have never seen it before.
2./ I am a big fan of the monaro and the chevy engines.
But if it doesnt go to plan then i will give the lotus carlton engine a go.
Funny you should mention the commodore because my mum and dad are moving to new zealand (I might be going, dont know yet) and could get hold of a commodore for me. :y

Unless you are a highly skilled engineer you will have to pay someone else to do a lot of the work. Therefore you can easily double that price and add some more. If it were me, I would just buy
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/Sipey/HSVGTS.jpg)
Which is currently for sale at 9.5k with 55k on the clock.
Yes the Omega is a nice car but, no where near as nice as one of these. Plus, the HSV will always be worth that amount of money. A V8 Omega just isn't

Perhaps I was being unfair. Appologies. :-[ It's not an improvement on the V6 in the Omega IMHO, so in the original context of the thread probably not worthy of consideration.

The 5.7 was an LS1, the later 6.0 is the LS2......
And yes, a certain Vx piece of software has every detail you could ever want regarding fitting a V8 in the Omega.....because they did it and then canceled the launch at the 11th hour.
Do you know what its called?
Yes, thanks.
Whats it called matey?
Unfortunately is copyright material and not freely available so its iffy ground to discuss it on this site despite some people selling it on ebay.
What does it actually do, tells you step by step
Hi I am in the process of doing a V8 conversion into my Cadillac Catera (which is an Omega) if someone who has this software or can direct me to where I can get it please message me, it would be greatly appreciated.

well i have now got a more realistic idea.
Since i am emigrating to new zealand, i have decided to ship my omega over with me and install a Holden Commodore engine.
What do you think?

Why not just buy a Holden?

to be honest im not to keen on them and the one i want is a bit to expensive :y

if you have owned the omega for less than 3 years you have to pay crazy tax on whats its valued at over there, which it a LOT more expensive! so add that onto the £750 - £1000 import fees, the to buy a ls1 there wont be that easy as they are really sought after for hot rods.
another option would be to sell your omega, find someone breaking one here, buy the bonnet, boot, lights and bumpers and ship them to NZ then fit them to the holden! then youve got a LS1 omega without any of the headaches of importing/exporting cars.
