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.

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??
