I imagine it wouldn't be that hard, get some custom engine mounts. The engine will bolt straight up to the omegas gearbox.

No Omegas came with the C20XE from the factory.Fact.
IIRC the X20XEV mounts would fit onto the XE/LET if fitting into an Omega.

there isnt a c20xe omega but there is a x20xe and x25xe which technically is an XE

the x25xe bears no resemblance to the c20xe in any way shape or from.. the only similarity is that in the engine code they both share XE ie the same compression ratio and are both multi point injection

Oh aye the x20xe mounts should fit the c20xe.
But I'm guessing will need the sump off the omega if it fits.

suppose its everyone in the known vauxhall worlds fault for assuming an xe means a c20xe

if an X20XE sump and pick up was used, it 'should' fit.. other concerns for the conversion imo would be the Dizzy fouling the bulkhead (did any LET's come dizzyless?? i cant remember! lol) also the top hat would be facing the wrong way, but that could be remedied with an ecotec adapter malarky an some sort of bodge for the breather pipe

all let's were dizzy.
top hat isnt so hard. get one of them 3 inch jobs off DA BAY and get some local spot to chop it off and re tig it back together the other way around.
edit incase x14 person chirps up again. i am referring to all c20let's being dizzy. i know z20let were coil pack. thanks.
