Is there ANY chance that a 3 litre engine from a vauxhall senator would go intoa corsa?
If it coud............ hehe
We could be talking enough power to rip the car appart with a few mods!

think the last isse of total vauxhall had a 3litre v6 engine!!!!
looked sweet, took the whole fcuking engine bay!! but it wasnt straight from one car but was made up from 2-3 different cars
but why go through the hassle of fitting a huge 3litre v6 when u can fit a 2litre turbo which would be faster plus u get the tsssssss sound wen changeing gear

MoNkEy MaGiC: i am convinced that a highly tuned 3 litre could take a 2 litre turbo.

anything is possible, if youve got enough cash, but I dont think it would be worth it, IMO.

i think a highly tuned 2litre turbo would beat a highly tuned 3litre v6,coz i reckon the 2litre turbo produces much more torque than the 3litre v6 so a 0-60 or even 0-100 i reckon the 2litre turbo would win but the 3litre v6 top speed wise would be quite somthing!! thats what i reckon but not sure,
highest tuned 2litre turbo in corsa'B' ive seen is 275BHP
highest tuned 3litre v6 in corsa 'B' ive seen is about 200BHP 190lbf.ft
but... highest tuned 2litre turbo in corsa 'C' ive seen is 315BHP 357lbf.ft fcuking crazy!!

the senator engine is a straight 6 so it is nearly twice the length of a v6.

i dont think you can use the ful 3lt engine as the manifold is to large, this is why MMV have used the 2.5 top half as its alot smalled Inlet.
As from talking to FearLess (the Vauxhall God hes off here as well as live about 10miles away from me) who did the Nova V6 below he said he had to get a custom manifold made to miss the steering rack.
