No it will not fit. The intake ports in the heads are higher up on the Eagle, so it's manifold will not work. If your looking for a drop-in EFI manifold for the DeLorean's 2.8 engine, you'll need a Z7U manifold from Europe.

Lots of good stuff over in the EFI section if you wish to learn more.

Somewhere in .org or .com there was a picture of someone who put the 3.0 intake on the 2.8 engine using spacers. Anyone know where that picture is? Or who did it? Or how much of a spacer was needed?
Call Josh at DPI in Ohio. I'm pretty sure he's done a few of these.

And you will need injector ports in the spacers.

Jim you are right... it looks like the 2.8L intake on a 3.0L. I found a bunch of Word files I had created using content from pertinent topics on .com and it had the picture. Here is the picture that I remembered:
I'm not sure that this picture offers any value given the topic and what has been added since...none-the-less, here it is for posterity.
And someone ... pm me explaining how to add the picture in the post instead of as an attachment. If I use insert image or Attachments I get it as an attachment.
