Well, I'm 100% certain the crank case in the D is the same as the R30 - 
I know this because our engine guy is building me a DeLorean engine, and 
he himself is an R30 owner.... (and I had to supply him a crank case for 
his 30 engine!) I know the Atmo has the same crank case as the 25 turbo 
as I have a Z7U engine and my friend from renaultalpine.co.uk is getting 
the crank case off my Z7U to put on his 24v engine so it'll fit in his Atmo!

Ah -this is where your knowledge goes waaay ahead of mine. I read an 
article on the current model but that's it :-)

The best choice as far as I can see is a V8 twin turbo from an Esprit, 
which I've been told will definitely fit (by a new DeLorean owner who 
has owned several Esprits in the past). That's 350hp out the box but 
capable of more, AND uses the UN1.

Are you sure? The Espace V6 is famous for having to drop the engine to 
change the "back row" of spark plugs. Maybe the later 60 degree V6 is 
transverse?

Well, Peugeot and Citroen are basically the same company!

Can you confirm if it's sequential twin turbo? Th epipework woul 
dsuggest it is, but 've never seen one!
