its actually not too bad a motor. There is a fellow on the turbobricks website who built one up and turbocharged it. Just stay away from the earlier model, known for eating cams.


Makes around 800ft/lbs torque and 900hp on 20lbs boost. Very fast.

I just heard, wonder if it would be the same design???

Wouldn't that be something - Doubt it -previous design prob. wouldn't pass new regulations.

Depends on whether or not it is as slow as the first one.

i heard they are TONS of different swaps for it...well...swaps people have done. I think there was a thread back in the day.

i've seen 302's, RX motors, and a few others

Cars are teh ghey but you gotta hand it to the guy, he sold cocaine to revive his dying company.

That, my friends, is a will to succeed. He risked everything for the one thing he loved. His cars.

(For those of you who didn't get it, John Delorean sold drugs to keep his company up. He was caught of course.)
