with the prices of Omegas these days, just buy one that already has the desired engine fitted.

Ngrainqey upgraded his 2.0 to a v6 i believe ask him!

but tunnie is correct a 3.0 / 2.5    CDX / MV6 / Elite from around 1996 - 1999 is worth around £200 - £600! roughly depending on mileage!

98 on miggys are the best to go for as they have Posh Xenon headlights and a few other extra gadgets!

i have a 2.5 bottom end and heads that just wants rebuilding and new oil cooler pipes on it plus new oil cooler and oil filter-have a new timing belt kit to put on it so it'd be pretty much good to stick straight in :y
if i can find it then i have a new oil filter lol!
