PRV engine: what breaks at what speed question

[dmc6960]

In the "Ask Steve and Farrar about Carbs" thread (http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?3084), after being asked if be bought that car, he writes...

No, I did not happen to buy "a 6K DMC with blue bumpers".
However, I have that same lower runners and it has 48mm throttle butterflies. The runners do indeed accept CIS injectors. I'm not aware of any electric injectors small enough to go into the bores provided.
I also have the air plate and fuel distributor assembly along with the injectors. I've yet to check their numbers to see if they are DMC.
Do you know what that manifold is? What size throttle butterflies does the stock DMC CIS have?
I'm certain it is CIS and not L-Jet or later.
Oh, what do you know to be the HP and torque limits of the automatic and what fails first? Second if that's addressed and at what numbers then?

And then...

It is lower runners as shown on the blue bumper although it is CIS and not EFI.
BTW... I've asked some direct and should be reasonably easy questions, do you guys like to not share knowledge or is it my breath? ;-)

And here is the engine picture from that car for reference...

The way he describes it it sure sounds like the car in question. I wouldn't blame him for flat out denying it though!

Another relavent quote which REALLY sounds like that car...

Mine has the upper rectangular vessels, a type of molded plastic, on each side, remove-able and the lower runners "spigot'd" so that they are coupled to the upper non-metal boxes via rubber hoses clamped onto the three spigots at the bottom of the boxes. Maybe my manifold is from something else. Heck, maybe the engine is as well. I suppose I should find out if this engine is a factory PRV for the DMC.
Other than this deviation and the carb in place of all the CIS stuff, it appears to be a stock DMC engine.
I like it better than the ebay stock piece as it leaves me the option of connecting carbs on their ~ 4.5" centers, or removing the "lower manifold/runners" and screwing them directly to the heads.
I'll take it completely apart once I start fabbing up my carb setup and snap some pix.
Does a engine chart exist for the purpose of identifying these engines via their casting and/or stamped numbers and where are they located?

Then he goes on and on about not getting the information he's asking, despite everyone in the thread pretty much flat out saying they have no idea what he's asking for. Andy directly asks for pictures twice and is ignored, followed by posts saying how nobody is telling him what he wants.

Another interesting note, he is very interested in the automatic transmission filter. Does anyone remember if that blue bumper car was auto or manual?
