omegod Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have to say, being a fan of an auto box, that the thought of an Omega V6 and auto in a CF is very very appealing. I ran a 3.0 auto omega on gas for several years, really really regret selling it , lovely engine and box combination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Badger Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 2jz out of an early Lexus GS would be entertaining. The CF would then have more Toyota content than the new Supra.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yep the 2.3td used in the Mk3 Carlton was a good conversion for the Bedford, and a lot of Mk3 Carlton’s met their fate that way. Probably for the best actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I'd rather suggest the Omega 2.6 or 3.2 engine as they are fly by wire, mostly, so would make for an easier transplant. The autobox is quite substantial but they are a piece of piss to convert to manualHow easy are they to get running on a cut down loom? I keep thinking one would make a good replacement for my pinto.

andy18s Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I have to say, being a fan of an auto box, that the thought of an Omega V6 and auto in a CF is very very appealing.I literally threw this set up away when I had my last clear out as I couldn't even give it away3.2 with it's autobox,prop and the cut down loom to run it all....came from a running car as the plan was to drop it all in a Manta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 What about one of the later 2.4 duratorq engines from a late model LDV Pilot or Convoy with associated gearbox? A lot quieter and more refined than a shitbag banana lump. Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
