Re: [DML] engine info



You asked: "....first of all the engine, I have seen in a few places that
the PRV-6 was in a few Volvos. my question is exactly which years and
models and how different."

The B-28F PRV-6 engine was used in the 79-81 Volvo 260 GLE and 82-87 760
GLE's. The latest version of this engine, B-280, was used in all 88-89 760
GLE and 90 780 models.

The DeLorean uses a modified version of the B-28F however it is not directly
interchangeable with the Volvo version. The Volvo 260 and GLE's were the top
of the line luxury models and accounted for less than 10% of total sales for
the years they were sold. For this reason they are quite rare. I have first
hand knowledge of this situation because I owned an 80 260 GLE several years
back and now own and drive an 90 760 GLE.
