Isn't the Omega the same platform as the Holden HSV? I thought an LS1 would be easy to fit?

Can be done. The omega was actually desigened to take a V8 as opel intened to make a V8 version, but it all fell through. There is a one off special called the V8.com in some muesuem in germany. Thread about it on OOF.

So you got this, the Impreza and a soon to be replacement for the Zafira?!

Is it? (even the T56 went in with no problems, using original, but modified, mounts)
Nice Car Davey, not a lot else out there with the same exclusivity for the money.
