[DML] Re: Volvo engine -- yea or nea?

1986 Peugeot what??

http://www.vectorbd.com/users/jpl/v6.html lists a 200HP Peugeot 605
starting in 1991, with 24 valves (I assume dual cam heads). But, the
605 was never imported in to the USA. 

I remember some back issues that stated the Volvo PRV-6 will NOT fit in
to the DMC due to a problem with the oil pan. I could never figure out
why you cant just swap the oil pan, but I guess someone out there has
tried it. I wonder if the same is true with the Peugeot? Or maybe the
internals and heads can just be swapped.

With all of the turbo configurations listed at the above web site making
250+ HP (One is listed as 450HP!), it still bugs me that there is not a
better/more reliable turbo set up for the DeLorean.
