Re: better Eagle 3.0 questions

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

It's hard to say. What exactly had happend to the engine block that 
has rendered it as "bad"?

I too have looked into the 3.0 liter conversion. Myself, I don't care 
for electronic fuel injection. I perfer the CIS mechanical on the 
DeLorean. Much easier to maintain and tune. While others may have 
more info on this than I do, I have read on the internet that the 
Eagle Premier's have known issues with their ignition ECU's. Another 
reason I'm not fond of EFI or excess electronics. Personally, I am 
not concerned with even or odd-firing of the engine. I would rather 
just keep the DeLorean block, pan, crank, and heads using only the 
Eagle pistons and sleeves. Which when you think about it DMC 
Houston's upgrade makes a whole lot more sense. Plus for resale 
purposes, you'd have a common upgrade performed by a well known 
service center. Another problem with the Eagle fuel injection system 
is parts and support. Eagle parts I've been told are niether cheap 
nor easy to come by. If something happens with the DeLorean, you have 
a variety of service centers to contact for help. If one of the Eagle 
components acts up, you may not have very many places to turn...
