[DML] Chevy 4.2L V6 fit

["stephenucedu" <steve100@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

List,

I have been behind in reading my digests. I just noted several
discussions about what type 
of engines would be an easy transplant into a Delorean for more
power. One person stated 
that by his measuerments the 4.2L Chevy V6 would not fit, in that it
was too long. 

Well, thats true but not true. It was about 1 inch too long on my
setup. However, there is 
quite a bit of room in the very back of the engine compartment,
between the rear wall and 
the tail lights. For mine, an area from this wall was cut out to make
room for the pulleys.

The engine is the 4.2L V6, with aluminum heads, 3/4 cam, 4 barrel
Edelbrock carb, MSD 
electronic ignition, headers, and 2 mufflers. As you can see from the
pictures, there is 
PLENTY of room all around the engine.

I have uploaded the pictures showing how this can be done to the
archive, in the PICTURE 
section, labeled as Chevy Engine Fit (or Chevy Eng...).

Good luck to those who choose to transplant. Once its done, its so
easy to work on 
(especially carb units), and, the ride is tremendously exhilarating.
