It's hard to say. What exactly had happend to the engine block that has rendered it as "bad"? I too have looked into the 3.0 liter conversion. Myself, I don't care for electronic fuel injection. I perfer the CIS mechanical on the DeLorean. Much easier to maintain and tune. While others may have more info on this than I do, I have read on the internet that the Eagle Premier's have known issues with their ignition ECU's. Another reason I'm not fond of EFI or excess electronics. Personally, I am not concerned with even or odd-firing of the engine. I would rather just keep the DeLorean block, pan, crank, and heads using only the Eagle pistons and sleeves. Which when you think about it DMC Houston's upgrade makes a whole lot more sense. Plus for resale purposes, you'd have a common upgrade performed by a well known service center. Another problem with the Eagle fuel injection system is parts and support. Eagle parts I've been told are niether cheap nor easy to come by. If something happens with the DeLorean, you have a variety of service centers to contact for help. If one of the Eagle components acts up, you may not have very many places to turn... -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, jake@xxxx wrote: > well i did what i should have done first and scoured the archives for > hours to find out some things, although i am still not entirely clear > on all the steps, i'm hoping one of the experienced experts can make > a list of sorts of the steps involved... <SNIP>
