I believe that the car has an earlier version of the PRV-6 w/softer cam shafts, so a direct swap would not be a possibility. While canvasing various junkyards for parts I've run across a few PRV's. For a car this old, the K-Jetronic system may/may not have some parts such as fuel hoses that could be used. I don't know what the life- span of the control pressure regulator, or the fuel distributor is. So their value to you is questionable. This engine also has a different type of idle speed control system that is not compatible with the DeLorean (2-wire, spring resistance). You might be able to use the same intake manifold, but you would have to go over it first to seal all the open vaccum connections on it so it could be used for the DeLorean application. All in all, the car would not have enough usable parts for you to use on the DeLorean. On the flip side, if you can get the car for a ridiculously low price it may be worth it in another way. You could turn a profit by 1. Reselling the car (hard). 2. Using the car as a trade in to purchase a DeLorean (hard). 3.Donating the car to charity for a good tax deduction. or 4. Sell the car for salvage (of course I'm speaking of the Volvo here. I'd NEVER junk a D!). -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, "Toscano" <toscano2@xxxx> wrote: > A guy at work is selling a 1978 Volvo 262 Bertone, out of curiousity I took a peek under the hood and the engine in there appears to be a PRV V6.
