Re: [DML] The PRV-6 to Northstar Transfer

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are talking engine swaps, this is the one that
makes the most sense to me.  This engine is getting
more and more attention in the "engine swap" circles.

The V6 version is known as the "Shortstar".  It weighs
quite a bit less (90 lbs less, I'm told) than the
Northstar V8 and that is a lot of weight saved behind
the rear wheels.  Having viewed the Northstar
conversion, it would appear to me that the Shrotstar
could be installed with almost no cutting into the
engine compartment.


These engines are somewhat readily available from auto
dismantlers though they are now beginning to attract
the attention of street rodders.
