The D has a 3.44:1 final drive, this R25 has a 3.88:1 final drive. The diff is also the other way around for rear mounting.
The only off-she-shelf replacement for the DeLorean 'box is from an Alpine GTA Atmo, but the end casing will need swapping over.
The most ready source of 369's is from the Renault 30, but again that'll have a 3.88:1 final drive. That has exactly the correct casing for the DeLorean.

It will fit though, with a decent gearbox guy to reverse the diff your laughing.
Seems a good price too.

Easiest bang for buck for a DeLorean would be an engine from an Atmo - 160hp out the box and a lot more torquey. If you actually -need- a gearbox, it's the best choice for like-for-like and you'd only need swap across your existing end casing.
That's not one of the RAOC regulars for what it's worth.
