Questions about Deloreans/Prospective New Owner

[Twilightcall@xxxx]

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a Delorean. I have a few questions about 
them. How difficult are they to work on? What are some of the major issues 
and what does the engine have to come out for? I am used to working on my 
own cars. I repair/maintain my Lotus Esprit and my Ferrari 308. Both have 
Bosch K-Jetronic FI systems. I have heard that the engine is basically a 
Euro Volvo engine but then I have heard that it was a Peugeot engine that was 
used in Volvos? Which does it closely resemble? I know that it is a joint 
effort of Volvo, Renault, and Peugeot but I have heard that the engine is 
more like one of them. I noticed that it is on timing chains. Is this an 
interference engine? If the heads needed to be done would the engine have to 
come out or is there enough room to remove the chains and heads in the car? 
How would many of you rate the reliabiliity of them? Thanks for all of the 
info and please feel free to add any additional comments that may be useful. 
Thanks Again, GREG
