Hello, I'm Nick. I'm from Cincinnati, OH in the US. I've got 1643, the car with the Chevy LS1 installed. Just wanted to say hey!

Hi Nick,
Welcome to the madhouse

By the way, what's the weight of the LS1 over the PRV, do you know?
I wonder what the weight distribution is now?
What's the mpg?

Hi Nick,

When I had both engines out I weighed them side by side. The LS1 was only about 50-60lbs heavier than the PRV. As far as the distribution, I'm still not quite sure yet. A friend of mine has a set of 4 wheel scales that gives weight, distribution, etc. I've been meaning to weigh it for a while, I just need to get to his place to do it. The mpg is about 23-25 highway, 17-19 city. I used to get about 22-23 highway and 15-17 city when I had the PRV so that was a very mild improvement. (probably also due a lot to the auto-->manual conversion.)

Welcome Nick, the engine looks like a neat installation going by your avatars pic

I saw it at DCS last year and it looks like it belongs there

Hi Brandon

Hi everyone, This is Arthur from New Hampshire, US, just purchased my first Delorean (6157) after 20 or so years of NEEDING one. It runs pretty good, I drive it every weekend. Body is in great shape, but the frame is going to get dome attention this winter (pretty bad crack behind the passenger side sway bar mount) Also looking to swap the engine with a 4.3 Vortec next year, aiming for 300 hp.

300hp.... Should be interesting!
