Actually it appears to be Renault Z7V. Notable Renault characteristics: - Aluminum fuel distributor (w/o lower chambers) - Metal fuel lines - Fuel dampener adjacent to CPR - Possibly full throttle advance on CPR (Volvo only used in 1977) - Grey plastic caps on balancing screws If it indeed is Z7V, should be 9.5:1 compression. That alone might be worth the price of admission. My former Renault block ran like a bat out of somewhere. Easily out performed stock DeLorean. BBQ'd the catalytic converter however.
