I have recently purchased "Oscar", and am going to have him shipped out to Boise ID within the next few weeks. Some other car thought it would be nice to get cozy with Oscar's rear end and thus Oscar sadly became a parts car. Not to worry, in steps Ulysses to save Oscar! Ulysses has a drive(more like an obsession) to own a Delorean unlike anyone has ever seen. I (I mean Ulyses) will not be denied his dream! Now down to business. Oscar has what looks like the lower half of the engine left. And the gentleman that presently has him has told me that it's most likely not worth rebuilding what is left of the engine. I tend to belive him because he works on Deloreans on a regular basis. I have decided to put a volvo V6 back in the car. Now for the ultimate question.....What is going to be the best, most cost effective engine to put back into Oscar?!! I would like to be able to simply bolt up the engine just as the original one. I would also like to take advantage of an engine that has come out of a wrecked Volvo so the cost would not be as high as a brand new engine. I'm not concerned with the transplanted engine being used. I would simply like a stock volvo V6 dropped into the car and wired up so that I could conceivably drive my new car sometime within the confines of THIS YEAR!!! I understand that there are probably messages somewhere in the DMC groups, but I can't find them. So could all of you who would know what I need please help me. Please help me get Oscar back on the road. Thankyou all for your time, Ulysses Stockdale P.S. you can go ahead and shoot me, I don't know Oscars vin. yet! ;-)
