If I wanted to put a Vectra V6 engine in a RWD application, what (preferably auto) gearbox do I want? Is it just an Omega box? Would I need an adapter plate or a custom bellhousing? Are they available?

I know the Omega RWD, but I think one or two of the Vectrea engines may be more powerful then the 3.2 V6. Can anyone clarify that too?

Thanks in advance.

3.2 engine either the Z or the Y32 are the most powerfull out of the NA V6's. The Y32 (Omega)214bhp and the Z32(vectra C) is 208 bhp The VXR 2.8 Vxr turbo is 280 bhp, vary expensive and rare at the mo.

The Y out of the omega is already configured for RWD so its easier to fit as RWD.

Thanks for the comprehensive (and baffling) reply. smile

If those are the power outputs I'm looking at, then it might not be worth the swap. More research, methinks.

Thanks for your help.
