Ryan,
When I first saw the K-jet, it gave me a headache trying to figure the
system out. Coming from a Computer Science background, EFI is way more
logical and mechanically simple. So after my starting troubles, I bought
the book "Bosch Fuel Injection and Engine Management" by Charles Probst
(ISBN 0837603005). It covers many flavors of Bosch fuel injection and does
a better job (in my opinion) of explaining the K-jet then the official
Bosch manual.
When it comes to an engine swap, I'll never due it. Keeping the PVR is way
cheaper, even after shipping the D to an "official" DeLorean vendor. The
only time I would perform a swap is for more performance. But then I've
never had a problem with the stock engine in regular traffic. There are
still plenty more cars out there that are slower then me. :)
