[DML] Re: Delorean engine and gear box

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to speculate that it came from an A310. Should put it around
150 HP (2.7 liter, 2 BBL Solex, 9.5:1 compression). 

Heads are probably transferrable to 2.7 liter only. Notice the
injector locations are catching a lot of light, as if heads are FI
capped off? Looks especially like a hex head at cylinder #5 injector.
Perhaps Martin G can verify this is Renault practice (A310 production
coincided with R30).

Appears to be a coolant return line in the thermal time switch
location, perhaps from a carb preheat. 

Current distributor can only be used with a carbureted manifold (older
style with hold down clamp -- too tall to fit under a K Jetronic
manifold).

Current exhaust manifolds will not clear DeLorean radiator plumbing or
bolt up to the crossover pipe.

Motor mount bosses appear to be in the proper place for a DeLorean
crossmember, but check the angle. Are definitely not Volvo.

Notice the diagnostic plug...

Transmission is of course automatic.
