Depends on what tranny his Omni is, if its a 5spd, he will have to get Auto axles or do the hybrid intermediate shaft setup.

Why, it has the bolt holes for the shaft on the block?

A V6 with an intermediate shaft.. Ok, never seen it, but then I don't tend to have anything to do with those things.. If you say it exists, okie dokie..

The problem is that I dont think the bracket is the same.......I have never looked at the 4 cylinder bracket though.

Ive seen a picture of 1 v6 bracket that was sold from a shelby auction, and was apparently from the days he was investigating the motor before he gave up on chysler.

I think we even have a # on the part video from the pic I saw.

Hmmmmm, interesting. I know the Omni bracket is different than the cars/vans so maybe it won't fit. I have seen 5spd V6's, durrr, but don't recall the intermediate shaft. Next time I see a 3.0L, I will check for the holes to be in the right spot.

THey do have the holes.........I just think they are there for a bracket that was never produced in a # greater then 10...........

Yeah, I'd have to imagine they use a different bracket, at the very least. As the block is shaped a whole lot differently.

will have to look into this. maybe a 4 cylinder one can be modded to work?

update on this........ ive located a 90 5 speed TBI omni...... one problem.... its an sbec car....... ok now what?....... oh man its black 2.... with grey interior.... some nice black wheels are planned.... i wanna do a set of the cragar nascar style mags in gloss black... after the 5 lug 4 wheel disk conversion is done and the glh suspension located.... god this is gonna be a lot of work..... any idea on this? i already have the 88 3.0 minivan harness... will this still work? or do i need to find an sbec harness?

XxhorizonxX · 12-09-2005, 10:53 AM

also i would like to utilize cruise control in the omni. i like cruise. can it be made to work with the 5 speed? i do need to find a computer with cruise and the associated throttle cables and vacuum hoses though right? aas well as the stalk on the steering column? did any l bodies ever come with cruise?

turbovanman · 12-09-2005, 12:38 PM

I am sure they came with cruise, if not, you can easily add it. All you need is to pirate the servo and cable assembly from any TD, add the switch and wiring at the steering column, and when you get your cal, have it turned on.
