Engine Swaps and tranny questions

[Louie G <louie@xxxx>]

I've been cruising around DeLorean sites the last few days checking out various engine swaps people have done. What I'm looking at specifically is what transmissions people use when they do these large swaps. I've seen where both Bob Brandys Land Rover v8 D, and Jim Strickland's Mazda 3 rotor D both use porsche transmissions. On the other hand Rich W.'s Turbo Buick uses a stock D tranny with a custom bellhousing. There's a couple of swaps I saw on Tamir's site that I'm curious as to what trannies they used- the Chevy 350 powered D which was at the Memphis show, and the Ford v8 powered D at the Cleveland show. If there's anyone else out there on the list, or knows of someone who's done an engine swap, I'd really like to hear how you got around the limitations of the stock D transmission.
