if it was rear mounted with an f20 box then it would be rwd

Why don't you try that in a corsa combo?

Alot of work imo

chances are an xe or let 4x4 would be easier

unless you mounted the engine in the back

if your thinking of a corsa b then the omega front subframe wont bolt on as the corsa doesnt have a subframe

not without lots of work i dont think. im currently doing a 5stud conversion on my corsa(which all omegas are) and i couldnt use any omega bits as none of them fit

thats another bit a needed sum answers on , a havent looked at the corsa front chassis and subframe in a while , just an idea a had instead of going the fwd root , fancied a challenge :lol:, would the omega subframe bolt upto the corsa chassis ?

iirc the omega setup cant be used with corsa bits for hubs etc. so will be fooking loads of work mate.
be awesome if you do it though

ok folks need a bit of advice here , basicaly a have a full omega estate 2.5 v6 ecotech sitting in my garage with crash damage to the front , had an idea to transplant the full running gear into a corsa , was thinking cutting the transmition tunnel out the omega shell and welding it into a corsa shell , shortening the propshaft and mounting the diff/axle on the rear of the corsa , just an idea for now , looking for sum feedback before a buy a corsa shell , a know its lots of work but i am a fabricator/welder by trade so dont mind the welding involved , has this been done before ? a have seen a few v6's in corsa's with the fwd gearboxes but never seen a rwd corsa apart from the handfull off rear engine ones , help :D
