Eagle Premier 3.0L - PICTURES



Hello Everyone,

So after promising for a long time, I've finally taken some pics of
my engine setup. Thanks Darryl for prompting me to do this. You
actually encouraged me to setup my whole DeLorean web site.

To see the pictures go to:

(Please note this is case sensitive for some awful reason.)

Use the left navigation to see the specs and more.

Why Did I Install This Engine?
My old engine overheated and was unsalvagable. This should answer the
other question floating around regarding what happens when you
overheat a DeLorean. High temperatures and aluminum don't mix.

Anyhow, I'd always intended to put in something more powerful. John
Lane managed to convince me that a newer, even firing engine would be
better. I could talk about all the power or that eventually I'll put
in forged pistons, a torque cam shaft, and a turbo or supercharger.
However, the DMC Houston engine project is getting lots of nice power
too and is "more stock". The real reason why I switched is because
the thermometer in the newer engine is in the engine block instead of
in the coolant like in the stock DeLorean. Why does that matter? Well
when you lose your coolant your temp gauge doesn't show the engine
overheating. This is exactly what happened to me. A small but key
flaw in the DeLorean PRV, in my humble opinion.

So there you have it. My car is a daily driver. I like the smoothness
of the engine. I like the power. I like that I can trust what my temp
gauge says. I love owning my DeLorean!

Yea!
