I think the manifolds have to be custom made, this has always been the case in the past. I've never seen any off-the-shelf conversion kits

Would've thought you could use 2.0 conversion shafts with a v6?

can get the engine conversion mount, and box spacer..
use either corsa gsi shafts and 1600 cav inner's or conversion shafts for the valvers etc
will need to use the box that cam with the v6, or if you use f20/f28 you'll need a spacer or something..
custom exhaust manifolds needed...
engine has to be put in bay bare, and built up when fitted due to lack of room..
this is what i've gathered from other conversion's,
never done it myself, so i couldn't how correct that is

well it was either this or a turbo engine but the turbo engines are getting harder to find as a whole engine and can be an expensive job buy in separate parts, anyone no anyone???

'Immense'.
And no, not really. 17bhp more than a 20/C20 XE engine, significantly heavier, and far more costly.

17bhp on the 2.5..
50bhp on the 3.0, but have to use all the 2.5 inlet, and management etc etc for that though
