[DMCForum] chevy V-8 conversion.



Hi lads,

Anyone know any details about the small block chevy conversion that 
was at the memphis show? How easily did it fit, did the guy have to 
cutout any fiberglass underbody to get it in there? 
Is the chevy smallblock more suitable than the ford v-8 for putting 
in a DeLorean, as small block Ford V8 engines are lighter and 
narrower than the Chevy V8 engines, however they are about 1.5" 
longer than the Chevy V8?

Whenever I get around to doing an engine/transmission conversion on 
my DMC, I want a big ole American V-8 back there, all polished up and 
shiny, with some sort of Porsche transmission, either the G50 or the 
915. as Duke is now putting in his car. I'm hoping that the 
conversion will not need major changes to the chassis or underbody. 
I'd be planning on swapping the chassis for a Stainless one during 
this conversion. Any opinions on how easily a Ford or Chevy V-8 would 
fit mated to either Porsche transaxle?

Jim, I asked last week but you might have missed it?, did you have to 
make any major changes to the frame of your car to get the G50 tranny 
in there?

Imagine how cool a v-8 would look back there with custom valve covers 
with DeLorean written on them, and maybe a custom air cleaner with 
DMC engraved on it, that will look so cool!

John
