Just after a bit of info....

Are the V6 sumps the same/interchangeable between FWD and RWD (vectra and omega)?

Cheers

Ill ask a mate, he runs a 3l omega v6 in his ka bolted to a vectra box.

However i don't think they are.

Sump and pickup to change iirc,many moons ago i did a 3.0 omega engine into an astra van.

I'm fairly certain they're different.

Cheers guys, I thought they might be different.

I know the omega has the sump at the front, but wasn't sure where it is on the FWD lumps or if they can be swapped - I'm hoping the FWD has the sump at the back and can be swapped like the M50 sumps

Well it seems the sumps are different between FWD and RWD, but still not sure where the bowl sits on a FWD??
