Yes looks very nice! Interested in what you are doing for ignition and modifications to the stock timing.
Thanks for sharing your project!
P.S. The DC to DC converter might be a better solution for future starts in the event of a partially discharged battery.
Great advice! A DC to DC converter 12-15V was on my list if the the direct connection did not work. With an O-Scope I would see the cranking voltage drop to about 9.5V from the fuse panel, this was...
Great to hear about another MS conversion! powerline84 is right on with the pullup resistor, he was very helpful in getting mine running. One thing I found with my conversion that you may want to...
Wow that engine looks Great!
I picked up a 3.0 as an insurance policy for my 2.8, any advice on sourcing rebuild parts, thinking I would like to source rings, bearings, timing chain kit, liner...
I was pulling about 31 KPa with stock cams and just playing with the timing. The tune I started with had about 18 degrees at idle, but I found that the smoothness continued to improve down to 4...
Josh- Wow that looks great, it's a bummer for all of us that you did not work at DMC... We would all have much better cars!
Dave - As always I appreciate your thoughts and the items you have...
When I tackle the relay deck, giving some consideration to controlling the cooling fans from the Megasquirt ECU. This would make it pretty simple to stage the turn on, as an example turn 1 fan on at...
Yes Josh,
Good times tracking this down with the Delorean's decrepit wiring harness, but heh good reason to pick up a USB Oscilloscope. Made tracking the voltage losses through the harness a...
Been working through some issues with the optical pickup for the Megasquirt Tach in Signal, I found that the Banner optical module will not operate below 10 volts. The electrical bus was dropping...
Spent a couple of hours working on the EFI install today.
Continued endless wiring cleanup. Installed battery and fired up Tuner Studio, now able to run F.P. with the computer. Drained fuel tank,...
Sharing a quick update.
Dist and coils mounted
Fuel injectors, rails, fuel lines, and regulator installed
Manifold installed and throttle cable relocated
Bulkhead connector installed
Mega squirt...
Repeat after me:
It’s going to be OK.
It’s going to be OK.
It’s going to be OK.

Thanks Josh, of course this is just temporary, until I do an LS swap :)
Thanks Josh and RamblinDMC, looks like some good reading material! Looks like Bill must be the guy for PRV mods.
I am currently installing sequential MS EFI and Spark, I think Jimmy was a bad...
Great info on the interchange ability on the 2.8 vs 3.0 rockers.
My high level goals in researching this would be:
Replace 2.8 block with more available 3.0 block.
Even fire operation with 3.0...
Great!
Put me on your prospective customer list.
Sounds interesting, is there a thread on this adventure?
I freely admit I am in over my head hear, but very interested how parts from different PRV models play together. Did you have any issues...
Ok definitely over my skies here, but let’s give the question a whirl.
With the scarcity on non-rotted 2.8 blocks. Is it feasible to use a 3.0 block even fire crank, pistons and liners while...
Just followed the original link to your YouTube videos to find the led version.
WOW - very nice. Love to here more about your plans for production time frame and cost projections when your ready....
I am getting a 404 file not found error on the link. But eager to see what you have to share.
Interested in the camshafts and 3.0 head, let me know if they are still available.
I’m leaning towards the LEDs, any chance there will be another cool video with the LEDs?
Thanks for sharing the project!
So a couple of hours to disassemble. Block, pistons, liners and heads all look great. Camshafts are toast.
Want to rebuild this and be ready for a visit from the block rot fairy... Any...
