Engine number

What Hp is this engine with engine number 140B 705

Eh? What engine is that out of Stuart?

Looks like out of a delorian if that's how you spell it. Has the same inlet manifold with bosh type injection.

If it's a delorean engine, 130 HP at the flywheel, but I'm sure you can improve on that....same capacity as an atmo, or close..

So is it an even fire engine, no wonder the car was crap if it only had 130 hp.

Pretty sure the delorean is an odd fire which is why it uses Bosch k mechanical fuel injection....that's almost a carburettor in how it works, no timed injection, just a continous feed of fuel into the inlets even when the valves are closed.
Delorean also had lots of emissions control, maybe even a cat, hence the low number.

So because of emissions we're probably talking low compression as well. Someone told me that this engine though had a big valves,

There is a bit more on stunned monkeys delorean.co.uk webpage.
Not sure about the compression or valve sizes but there is a lot of emissions control gear.

Well I have bought the engine as a spare in case I make some major muckups when I port and plane the heads 10.5/11 to one compression and a few other little modifications trying to get one up to 200 I think with the right ignition system the engine should run okay on that. I don't think I'll be using any of that inlet manifold business,

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty certain 140B is a Volvo code.
As Deloreans got the Volvo version (it was the only one originally sold in the USA) it could be either Volvo or Delorean..... I think
