[DML] Re: Engine Options



Woody - I haven't tried any transplants into a DeLorean yet, but I 
have one of these engines in a kit car project of mine.  I have the 
1963 Oldsmobile variant which has 6 head bolts per cylinder.  The 
Buick version has 5, and the Pontiac version, 4.  This engine family 
was sold to British Leyland years ago, and is now the Rover 3.5L V-
8.  You are right in that this is a great little motor.  I don't 
know if it's really all that small compared to a small-block Chevy, 
but it is light!  I have one mated to a VW transaxle in a Sterling 
GT kit.  It would probably be better for somebody to use the Rover 
version for the DeLorean, as parts for the American versions are a 
bit tough to come by.  I suspect that somebody would have done the 
Rover conversion by now(?)in a DeLorean.

Standard hp was 185 and there was also a turbo (?) option at about 
212 hp.
