[DML] Engine Conversions -- Carbureted PRV

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another engine conversion option:

Next week I am scheduled to pick up a new in the crate PRV with
carbureted heads (no fuel injector ports) and single barrel intake
manifold. This is a factory design, not aftermarket conversion. Is
complete with all accessories except an A/C compressor (alternator
would need to be flipped to other side of the block with DeLo brackets
to use stock exhaust. Exhaust manifolds would also need to be changed
to use DeLo crossover pipe). Current carb is LP, but any 1 barrel
gasoline model should bolt up.  

Will post pics after I get it home. Seller currently has one more
available at $500.

Carbureted PRV has many fewer access issues than CI version. Ignition
distributor is completely unobstructed, as well as heater core return
barb next to it. Intake manifold is easily removed to access water
distribution pipe (carburetor remains bolted to manifold). DeLo
transmission slave cylinder would be totally exposed. Spark plug wires
are of course the only loose items above valve cover level (and a low
pressure fuel line to the carb, plus 12v if electric choke equipped).

Fuel delivery on a carbureted PRV is also easier to set up and
maintain. Of course DeLo accumulator and filter would not be used. Do
not know yet if PRV was ever equipped for a diaphragm pump, but even a
low pressure electrical pump shouldn't be too objectionable. Stock
Lambda and idle speed ECU's would be surplus.

BTW: I will soon be in the market for an engineless, or damaged
engine, DeLorean. Will need a transmission -- 5 speed preferred.
