It's been done but dunno how easy it was.
MMV Performance in Stirling did a 3.0 V6 Corsa B (think it's really a bored out 2.5 tho?)
I'm sure "The Guru" will comment on this as it's his big bro's car. Or the guys name is MMV6 on here I think.

No, fit 2.0 16v. 2.5 V6 is pointless.

heavy engine, performance wise no better then a redtop, mate converted his mk3 astra to a v6 from a 1.8 16v, other mates got a standard gsi, side by side up the pod with very similar times, a v6 in the corsa would be poo imo, engines too heavy and they come onto song higher through the rev range so no good for off the mark as compared to the redtop

if i was forking out for a 2l i would do the v6, dont see many of them really, at the end of the day v6 is better than 2l. you can get the same mods for the v6 as u can for the 2l

If you've got that much money too spend i'd put a LET engine into the corsa,204BHP as standard and loads of modding potential(sp).

big ek is spot on..The V6 might be rare but at the end of the day that's all it has going for it..it has more torque yeah but it is harder to put the power down.
