Last call? Swapping PRV engine for Chevy or Ford small block

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Moderator is soon going to tire of my predicament, especially since I 
don't even have the car yet (I'm looking, trust me). But many 
responses have raised interesting question: technical considerations 
aside, is there a "moral" or "spiritual" reason to keep cars as built 
(fuel injected PRV). I'm all hot and bothered to rip that plant out, 
yet go to *GREAT* lengths to keep my Lincolns stock (ask me which 
junkyard I spent all day last weekend in). This is more than just a 
philosophical exercise: the supply of DeLoreans is definitely a fixed 
number, that can only go down. My desire to re-engine one of these 
cars could actually be counter productive to the hobby (obviously I 
don't think so, but have received persuasive eMail's otherwise).

Speaking of eMail's, my box runneth over. I intend to reply to each, 
but it's going to take a few days. In contrast my Lincolns and AMC's 
have been rather solitary sink or swim experiences. It's *SO* 
important to take questions seriously and not underestimate effect of 
answers. Something second nature to a veteran can be a revelation to 
the novice. I lurked for several months before popping the PRV 
question, and I learned volumes. Once I did speak, was literally 
overwhelmed with replies.

Am still willing to accept your engine-less DMC castoffs. If I never 
open the rear louvers, will any of you really know what I've done back 
there?

Bill.
