Insurance is not your problem. I'm a part time expert witness and I assure you that any legal team would absolutely murder you with removed ABS. Leave it be.

Nah Its getting binned, thanks

so why ask questions in the first place if you're going to do it your way what ever?  :-X

Never asked questions about whether or not it would be safe to remove my abs, Asked about changing an engine...

you have your answers and advices from knowledgable members.. now its up to you to listen or not..
 
but of course there are always lessons to be learned :-X

Yes, I have many years experience building cars for the use i am intending, just not with fitting V6s in omegas. I was asking for advice on what needed changing for the engine to fit, not about how legal teams feel about ABS, or how it would be easier to just buy a V6 omega. I do conversions for fun and to learn things. Every time you do something like an engine conversion or similar, you always learn something new, and it's always a good laugh. Yes i know you all may think its not worth the hassle, but i enjoy the hassle, the stress, and the skint knuckles. This is what i enjoy doing with cars, not just buying one prebuilt 'cause its Easier.

If car is going to be used for track use only, then its fine of getting rid of ABS. But if its being used on standard roads, I think a very dangerous decision.

If you enjoy the challenge then why bother going to lot of hassle for very little extra horses.

Go the whole hog and pop an LS1 V8 in there, now that would be worth the effort!

you might be needing to do some calcs for front-rear brake bias. I think all facelift Omegas ( i.e. your 2.2 ) had EBD, so the rears will be way too big for operating without the ABS unit.
