V6 blocks

[Mike]

Within the next 3 months, ill be converting a Vectra GSi from a 2.5 V6 to a 3.2 V6, one of the conditions is I dispose of the Vectra engine.

However, its the later style V6 engine with the mad grey/silvery branch style plenums. Now the head of said disposing engine is as good as sold, ill be left with the block & gearbox and any associated loomage & ECU.

Do the old style V6 heads/top ends fit onto the newer style bottom ends? So i could make this engine a "runner" so to speak, therefore, useable?

Mike.

I use VVOC Tim :thumb: as does my future brother inlaw who owns said GSi :D dont know why he's gone for a 3.2 TBH, prolly just what ever hes found, but i do know the engine is coming direct from a recon engine company tho.

The 3.2 is reputed to be a better engine apparently, though the trick with the 3.0 is that it's the same bore as the C20LET, and a few people have been playing with fitting the turbo pistons and 1 or 2 whoosh machines!
