harder to put the power down than a turbo, are you joking? you even driven a turbo car?
It aint that hard m8, especially if you've got an LSD in there.

it can be done yes, custom engine mounts, and shafts as will all the Troq it would eat normal 2lt 16v shafts and CV's
also only from what my mate told me (who did the Nova below) he needed to have a custom inlet manifold made so it would mess a few bits and bobs
i am hopfully going to do this, again not as good as a turbo (for power etc) but just something differant

V6 into a corsa would be a mental motorway car. Lots of power, lots of torque. Dont let the sluggish 0-60 make it look bad, most V6's are sluggish of the line, but when they get going, they go on and on and only, and at 80mph, will destroy a 2.0 corsa.
Also, the V6 is a good lump for modifying!! Exhaust manifolds are very restrictive on these, and i've read about Cav/Omega V6 owers getting ones made up in development and it fres a lot of power. PLus theres the supercharger thing, big power anyone 
May not hit 60 quick, but remember, not everything is traffic light short sprint. I personnally have more races on the motorways
If u wanna be differnt, i'd say go for it, but it will understear a fair bit more than a 2.0. Nothing a good suspension wont sort out.

PAS you can use no problem
as for the inlet i think if u read hes used a Cav Inlet or somthing as its smaller, thats why its 3lt bottom 2.5 top, i also know a Nova has a smaller engine bay.
its use standard gearbox and passenger side mounts and make a new drives one.
its a matter of trial and error, i will keep you info'ed when i do mine over winter
