Re: [DML] Engine possibilites



Putting a heavy cast iron engine in the rear of a DeLorean can also be a safety hazard. 300 ft -lb of torque into 1st of 2nd gear can easily bring the front end off the ground and you can loose steering control .

The people with SB Chevys add 100+ lbs of lead to the front end to keep in on the ground.

With the engine and the lead weight your D is now 200-300 pounds heavier and slower.

An aluminum engine is essential. BTW aluminum SB Chevy or Ford are easily available in the aftermarket if you want that big of an engine block.
