Woody - I haven't tried any transplants into a DeLorean yet, but I
have one of these engines in a kit car project of mine. I have the
1963 Oldsmobile variant which has 6 head bolts per cylinder. The
Buick version has 5, and the Pontiac version, 4. This engine family
was sold to British Leyland years ago, and is now the Rover 3.5L V-
8. You are right in that this is a great little motor. I don't
know if it's really all that small compared to a small-block Chevy,
but it is light! I have one mated to a VW transaxle in a Sterling
GT kit. It would probably be better for somebody to use the Rover
version for the DeLorean, as parts for the American versions are a
bit tough to come by. I suspect that somebody would have done the
Rover conversion by now(?)in a DeLorean.

Standard hp was 185 and there was also a turbo (?) option at about
212 hp.
