[DMCForum] Re: 24valve 3.0 PRV

["Christophe Vieira" <88mph@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Yes, engine and gearbox are almost French parts as this engine has 
been used in many different cars (Peugeot 505, 604, 605, Citroen XM, 
Alpine A310, A610, all Venturi...).
It's possible to swap the crankcase on the engine as some Alpine A310 
use the 24V PRV in the same position as the DeLorean.
I've been told by an Alpine specialist that you just have to unbolt 
the crankcase off the 24v PRV and bolt on the one from the DeLorean 
engine without any kind of problems. 

I can ask Citroen/Peugeot a quote for a new engine, I've already ask 
for it some years ago and I can not remember the exact price but it 
could be about $5.000, I have to check with the dealer to be sure. I 
think it could be possible to get engine to a better price here or 
perhaps to get it for $5.000 shipped, I do not really know.

The French opinion is not bad concerning American people and I do not 
place all Americans in the same bag as Bush. For my part, I prefer to 
make my own opinion myself, without media or governments 
announcements by reading mailing list or speaking directly to 
American people like DeLorean (or other car) lovers.
Usually, Americans who "hate" France like to drink Champagne, use 
French perfumes and like to come in France for holidays. ;o)
In the near future, I hope I could make a big journey in USA too.

Best regards from France,

Chris.
