I am a GM fan. Yet I would have to say that even though all this might be possible, you wouldn't go too far on a tank of gas. I am also the 2nd owner of a 1974 Stingray show-car (67,000+ miles) that shares daily driver duty with my 81 D (5,011 miles). The Vette only gets 10.13 mpg with the L82 engine and Quad4, while the D is providing 19.37 during my 3 weeks of ownership. (DRIVE EM !! that's what insurance is for).

Or they could be thinking of something as cheep, simple and reliable as a 350 from a 1975 Caprice. The thought of a nice simple engine mounted fuel pump, rochester quadrajet carb, and a simple ignition system sound like a real nice idea. Just think, you would never have to worry about tank mounted fuel pumps, $800 fuel distributors and failing accumulators ever again. Just an idea Andrew 4194 PS: I remember reading one time that Don at Delorean Motor Center had an adapter kit to install a 3.8 V6, or a 350 V8 in a D. Does anyone know if these are still available and at what cost ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address moderator@xxxx
