engine conversion on 780

posted by  someone claiming to be broken login guy on  Mon Nov 25 03:40 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Do some research. By the time the 780 came out, the sickly B28F had been replaced with the far more robust B280F.

Any swap that doesn't involve a Ford or Chevy V-8 takes you into uncharted territory.

Another option is the aforementioned B230FT.

Here's another one: the Eagle Premier/Dodge Monaco V-6. It is a 3 liter motor, a direect decendant of the PRV. Several DeLorean owners have gone this route.
