Go with the PRV, and make it a De Lorean again! (just my opinion) Thomas Vin 4087 Belfast Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I don't mind EFI... At this point I want to cost compare my options again.. I did this 4 years ago when I first decided to do the conversion.. And I am at a point now where I can conclude the last 4 years of effort has been nothing more than an expensive learning experience. Pretty much back to square one now.. I have 06068 sitting without an engine. On the side, I have a DMC engine with a Island TT kit and a perfectly good DMC transmission. I also have a 3.5L Chrysler engine in the garage, as well as a 3.0 Taurus SHO engine. If I had to select an engine today, it would be neither of them. I see my options as follows: 1. The custom bell housing for the DMC trans proved to been too expensive to complete properly. Maybe if I had access to a reasonable machine shop I can re-use some of the design work and make a new bell housing. The unknowns here are still finding a ECU to run the engine, a item that is very expensive. 2. Do a engine conversion (with any number of possible engines) using a Porsche transmission and a already built (and tested) kit from Kennedy. (Duke has installed this trans in his DMC, so it is also a known success.... Duke, can you contact me directly??) With the recent decision by Chrysler to discontinue the 3.5L V6 engine I selected, I may opt for another engine. There are some new ones out in the past 4 years that have me curious, and some came mounted to a STD trans making the ECU problem easier to deal with. 3. Rebuild my PRV such that I can get some real performance out of it. With numbers like 250HP for forced induction, I am *NOT* impressed. PRV parts are expensive, and forced induction adds a whole new set of problems to the mix that I would rather not deal with. However, I am open to this option if the price is attractive. Any information you (or anyone) can provide would be great. --- Martin Gutkowski wrote: > > > Marc, are you happy to go EFI, or are you sticking > to K-Jet?
