[DML] Re: The R-30 or R-1 that is the question???



Actually, Don Steger (Delorean Motor Center) has, in his shop, a DMC with an
approximately 500hp Intercooled Buick Grand National Turbo in it. It uses a
DeLorean manual transmission with a custom-made bellhousing welded up from
the original and a Buick part. This car does tend to eat transmissions,
though. When I was there a few months ago the trans was in pieces.
