Also the 3800 has far higher low end torque than the N* and would be harder on the transmission. Looking at the spec. sheets they are a close match but in the car you can tell a large differance. The DMC transmission ( as does any ) is sensitive to torque loading and the lesser amount at low RPM will allow longer transmission life.
Since I completed the conversion about 2 years ago G/M has produced a V-6 version of the N* and is a far better match to the DMC. The N* is almost ( watch the strong replies come in ) over-kill for it at 300 hp. The 210 hp out of the 3.5 TOHC V6 Version, lighter weight ( 50 or more lbs.) and shorter length will make it ideal ( my opinion )

Hi,
I'm going to be converting my Delorean's engine over to a 3.8 GM engine and I was wondering if you had any tips for me when I convert mine over. How do you get the engine to hook up to the transmission? IF you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thanks! Blake Grover
