Ghosty Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I got that chap in my recommends too. He's bloody knowledgeable if you watch the rest of his videos, casually dropping engines in and out of Cavaliers like it's nothing. He mentions he's the editor of Truck and Driver magazine.

sutty2006 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I fear the fate of this Omega has already been made. a guy I know through the manta club has received delivery of his 2.4 engine curtesy of M9 Recovery. i think it’s over folks. Flags at half mast for this one. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yup. It’s dead. Just been speaking to said manta club mate. The engine he had has come out of that omega. Apparently it was advertised whole, before it got broke. I never saw it advertised, else I might have tried to save it. What a shame. engines going in a manta 400 replica. Never did understand why they put the 2.4 in, as the XE is lighter and produced more HP standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheezey Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I’ve been sucked into watching quite a few of his videos. Quite enjoying them. I recognise quite a few of the places he is driving about as he is localish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
