Well this seems like a no brainer. If you have access to the lotus v8 and follow the example set forth by robert on tamir's site. that would be the definite way to go. I'm surprised you would even have to ask. The premiere engine has NOTHING on value or desireablility over a Lotus v8. The key to value here is desireability. if you have a buyer who tries to tell you your car isn't worth anything because there is a lotus engine in it then they are lying to you to get a good price. DO IT. and do it right. And give us lots of pics and your source for the engine :-) --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "brandelorean" <brandelorean@xxxx> wrote: > > > Hi Everyone! > > Since I was a little kid, I knew I wanted a DeLorean and I finally > have one!
