Re: Engine mods on automatic worth it?

[jtrealty@xxxx]

I would be very concerned about the longevity of the automatic 
transmission on a Delorean with more than stock horsepower. If you 
ever looked at the parts inside you would wonder how they last at all. 
The c-1 clutch is the same as in a Chevette! These power upgrades are 
probably better installed in the 5-speed with a centerforce clutch and 
the s/s clutch hydraulic line. Then you could beat it and it would 
probably survive longer.
