Last night I was at a cruise night with the Delorean. A person stood staring at the motor. I asked him what he was looking at in particular. He said he used to work for Volvo. He did a lot of work on the PRV with the French. He said origionally the PRV was designed to be a V8. The French thought that the timing was wrong (the energy crisis) so they cut off two of the cylinders and made it into a V6. He said this is why it is a crossfire. He claimed to have seen the tooling for the V8. He seemed very knowledgable so I have no reason to doubt him. Just imagine what the Delorean would be like if we could squeeze a V8 into it! BTW he also commented that it was always difficult working with the French. This confirms the impressions that we got when we had Fred Dellis of Legend Industries give a talk on his work on the PRV with the turbos and the French. He told us that JZD had decided to change the engine eventually to get away from the PRV mainly because of the difficulty in dealing with the French. David Teitelbaum vin 10757
