Standard is around 168-173bhp (varies between Omega and Vectra purely due to the different inlets)

Vectra GSi is 190 due to cams (has same fitted to it as the 3ltr V6 in the Omega)

3ltr V6 from the Omega is 203bhp, the 3.2 is 211bhp.

Using a 2.5 block with 3ltr heads will lower compression, 3ltr block with 2.5 heads will raise compression. Although absolutely pointless.

3ltr block is the same size as 2.5ltr, bore and stroke are different.

Nothing special in a vectra, the corsa being alot lighter would make it a fun little car, would be rather top heavy though.

Is it for a conversion in a corsa??If so then will the vectra inlet fit in the tight space??iirc i dont think it does.

C25XE would be your best bet.

Beardy managed to fit a 3.0 in his, 2.5 would be easier i assume. You could easily see 200bhp from either engine tbh, power to weight i na corsa would make it a fun little car, get it done, not as common as xe conversions.
