611 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Is the 3.0 a straight 6? If so its a bit of cutting about to fit it in and a radiator move on the A series as its a long engine, not sure in an Ascona. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This is an Isuzu V6 motor which for a three litre isn't that powerful. Its quite a tall engine so a bonnet cut mat be required and then you have a problem of finding a gear box to fit as the bell house pattern isn't the same as the Manta 1.8 box or the Omega. Not saying it can't be done but if you have a fully built 2.4 ready to go then i think i'd carry on down that road. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The 2.4 has its challenges! but a V6, that's much more of a project!! im with Andy C , drop the 2.4 in. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
