Omega V6 3.0 with manual box, going in a Robin Hood 2B

connected to a Ford rear end via a Vaux/ford hybrid prop shaft

The only other one I have seen is in a Westie with down draughts in Ireland, website is NIse7ens........

Marlin have also used the Omega for one of their models.

Nope not me but the irish one is a stunning ( IMHO) install.

It turns out the Irish one was built by a guy that I worked with and better still he lives in the town I live in.I can't decide if I should put it in the Locost chassis or in the MX5 I have that needs an engine.

marlin used the omega in one of the Speedster versions.

Might have been before they used the BMW!
