Re: [DML] DeLorean Engine Options.

The Rover V8 engine is actually pretty easy to get in the US.

I got mine from an engine recycler KB Cores. (now located in Kankakee 
IL). I also put him in touch with a guy on the east coast who 
specializes in putting Rover V8 s in Triumphs to make them TR8s.


Kyle would sent 5 engines a year to the east coast. Common engines now 
to get are the 4.2 or 4.6L versions. The 4.2 can be upgraded to the 4.6 
for about $300//


The cost for these aluminum V8s runs from 300 to 900 US dollars. A real 
bargain compared to a chevy or ford V8 at $3000.

These 4.6s also have serpentine belts which make them simpler to 
install than the pulley version I put in my car.

If you get the 4.6 also get the fuel injection system. then get an 
after market computer to control it.
