Oooh, I reckon that's underestimating the Omegas chassis a bit. With a few bits n bobs off a Monaro you'd be there - or what about some parts from a Lotus Carlton?(because they're really common  ::) )  The chassis is stiff enough, it's really only the springs, dampers and front brakes you'd have to upgrade.  :) as mentioned, the gearbox would be changed with the engine, as an AR25/35 wouldn't ever take it.

I love the sound of this as a conversion, personally  :)

I did ask a member on here if he would help me if I found a sheddy ex-plod, he refused on the grounds of not wanting to put less than 6 cylinders in - but he said it was achievable...

The 2.3 litre four pot Turbo Saab's seem good value. :y

I'm on the lookout for one but I'm quite picky and very skint...

Mine will be getting moved on soon.....want me to give ye a shout nearer the time ?

Just seen this - ta for the offer, but I wont be able to justify one this year - and I must be honest I prefer the later 9000s or early 9-5 estates. Thanks anyway though! :D

Respect and mega respect.  :y

I thought it was going to be a simple transplant. How wrong can you be!

I would like to see that on a hillclimb
