RE: [DMCForum] DeLorean engine swaps.

["Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most Porsche people think the 944 (w or w/o turbo) engines just suck --
especially the owners of 944s.  Maybe a 968 engine?
 
But remember -- on these, the engine is in front, and I don't know if they
will bolt up to a rear-engined Porsche's transmission!

Subject: [DMCForum] DeLorean engine swaps.


Hi lads,
What engine swaps are currently out there or in the process of being 
built?
I want to start planning mine, definitely in conjunction with some 
Porsche transmission, but am unsure of engine choice.

I absolutely love American V8's, but would think that there are 
better alternatives out there, with the same power in a lighter 
package. I'd like to stay within the same approximate weight range as 
the PRV, so I suppose another aluminum 6 cylinder like Marc Levy is 
using (I think) is a good choice?
What about the Porsche 944 or 944 Turbo engines, has anyone 
considered it? Any opinions on how good a choice this would be? The 
reason I ask is that these are common over here, in fact I am 
planning on buying a 944 in a few weeks as my daily driver.

On a side note, I initially liked DMC houstons "new" interior, but 
over the past few weeks have thought it a bit too much like what I'd 
find in a teenagers Civic, the original interior in good condition is 
hard to beat.

Glad to see the return hopefully of the DMC forum!

Best wishes,
John
