Re: Alpine w/Turbo

Walter,

It IS the Exacte engine,that is in the Delorean,except for the 1988 
modifications(what the "1988" Delorean engine would have "been"(turbo 
and all) had it still been in production,the the dead giveaway is the 
picture showing the oil pan,notice it does not have the usual T 
shaped oil pan associated with the Volvo 2.8 engine,and I am 100% 
sure the same goes with the tranny,basically a DIRECT plug and play 
bolt in.
