IMHO, I would rather modify my existing Delorean engine and get 200hp+ out of it. The 20 Hp gain from the Eagle engine is not worth the hassle. It would be more challenging to modify an existing underpowered engine than do a simple swap which the Eagle is. Even though it requires using the D's lower crank, modifying a few mounting holes on heads (to accomidate the AC) and installing an electronic fuel injection...it's fairly simple. If I was going to go through the trouble of engine swaps and want more of a challenge (which I am going to do ;)) I would swap it with the Caddy NorthStar engine. Now this is an ENGINE :). I have been doing some reasearch on this and allot of car builders/Rod builders use this engine. It's light, small and powerfull, 300hp powerful. Wire it up right and you can enable the "Limp Home" mode that the Caddy's feature. This engine can run without a drop of antifreeze, when the computer detects the engine is over heating, it stops firing in four cylinders and turns the V8 into a straight 4. 4 cylinders continue to fire while four cylinders pump air in and out of the engine to cool it down, pretty much turns it into an air cooled engine. Just enough for you to get home or a shop. Like I said, IMHO to go from 130 to 150 with an engine swap then going from there to modify the engine you swapped into the D to get more HP is a waste of money. May as well put that money towards modifying your original D that has "Hidden power". After all...what's a true engine swap/conversion without a few bloody knuckles?
