I take it this has come out of a Volvo 760? Or via a DeLorean? How many miles, what kind of running condition? Why the sale?

And welcome!

Thank you for the welcome and sorry I do not own a DeLorean, but I do own a mid engined Lotus.
B28E V6 ran beautifully, from a late model Volvo 260, approx 50000 miles. Having a clearout.

Airbox looks like it's off a D? But the exhaust manifold suggests it was last mounted in the front of a car not the back!

Not seen one for a fair few years but I'm sure the delorean manifolds face that way and connect over the top of the gearbox then go down to that cat with a joining pipe ?

Thats right Gez, in the 260 it has the same airbox as the D. In the 760 it has an airbox mounted away from the engine with a pipe going to the metering head. God its sad that I know that. :o
