I'm sure someone off here just bought one of his old v6 conversions, turned out it was rotted to death underneath, that was his own car though.

you'd be better off fitting an XE instead of a V6. For £1750 you could get one fitted and have money left over to tune it a bit

Heads are the same (size wise, valve clearance/compression is different though between 2.5 and 3ltr)
Lower inlets are the same
Injector assemblies are the same
Bottom ends are the same

Use the 2.5 upper inlet from either the C25 or X25 from the Cav/Calibra/Vectra
You will also need to use the FWD sump setup from the C25/X25 from the Cav/Calibra/Vectra if your using an Omega engine.

Done

If you could find a gearbox strong enough, and had the time to fanny about, you 'could' fit the LS1...

no there not the lower inlet on the cav/calibra are different to the omega and vectra, if you are putting a 3.0 in the corsa i'd suggest you bought a c25xe aswell as you need, manifolds,downpipe,upper and lower inlets sump and pick up pipe think that was all i used on mine. get a early flat type flywheel from a redtop and use a f18 or f20 or if you wanted 6 gears get a f28
