Re: [DML] What other cars used the PRV-V6

[pbmain@xxxx]

The book report would be quite dry... :) Actually, I have a couple 
Delorean engines in the garage, along with a couple other PRV 
engines...one was out of a Zimmer (?) motorhome, complete with 
transmission, the others may have been Volvos? Not sure. 

Anyhow, I'm all about recycling parts when I can - I never throw 
anything out, since I've been in that position where I'm hunting 
around the world for some original horn cap for a '50s Alfa Romeo 
Spyder or somethign crazy and can't find it because it's some part 
that everyone ditched when they upgraded their cars...or looking for 
a 12mm wrench that was part of the original toolkit which probably 
got left on the side of some road..:) 

I'd like to figure out what parts of the three oddball engines are 
actually usable for Delorean purposes, as I'll feel less guilt 
getting rid of parts that only apply to some Volvo sedan or motorhome 
that probably won't be getting restored...and hopefully I can sell 
these extra parts to pay for all these parts I'm buying from the 
Delorean shops lately :) The list gets longer as the ideas keep 
growing...I'm sure many out there know that feeling...

Any info/experiences would be appreciated...
