just buy a V6 manual and get the diff welded up, plenty of cheap ones on ebay if you just want it for drifting.
to change from a 4 cyl to a 6 cyl = lots of extra work just buy an mot failuer for peanuts and save yourself a load of work

Yep, an Omega needs a v6 :y

.. and there's a big performance difference between the 2.5/2.6 and 3.0/3.2, IMHO, so go for the latter. Downside is that you will find more manuals in the smaller V6s, especially as there were no retail 3.2 manuals. :-\
