i think it depends on which v6 your putting in.. the earlier ones i think you need to cut the bulk head but with the later ones you want need to

after working on the v6 in my veccy putting it in a corsa is a daft idea.
theres little to no room on the vec, must be a nightmare in a corsa

Yeah but a 3.0 v6 corsa goes like foook!!!

Well worth the effort, and don't forget a v6 with an F16 / F20 weighs the same as a LET with F28

Ah,i remember the days of mine.

Anyhow 1st thing i would change is the F25 for an F20 and flat flywheel..Then youd need to make up a 23mm spacer for the front engine mount.Peice o piss tho.

cheers for the comments, the engine will more than likely be out ov an omega, probaly the 2.6 or the 3, which ever comes up first, anyone know which engine requires the bulkhead choping?

TBH, I don't think you need to chop the bulk head. We've got a 3.0 V6 out of an Omega in a corsa and that just has a modded rear exhaust manifold.

Yeah apart from stripping the 3.0 down to a block and heads, then fitting everything off the 2.5!
There's a pile of bits that you don't use off the 3.0 outside the garage, I'll get you some pics tomorro. off to watch the match now!
