Peugeot 505 PRV Engine Parts offered

[Guinney1971]

Hi All,

I'm not sure if the PRV-6 used in the Pug 505 V6 was similar/same as the DeLorean engine, but I received the following email from someone who found my details on the Rapier club forum.

Please contact Kim directly if there are any parts you need that they may have left:

Dear Claire,

Please excuse me for writing to you direct like this but I found your e-mail
address on the SROC message board system. I am a former member of SROC and
have had several fastbacks in the past. Indeed, I think I was one of the
first fastback owners in the club.

I was interested to read that you have a DeLorean as I had three Peugeot
505 V6's which use a 2.8 litre version of the same PRV Douvrin engine.
These three cars became life expired and one was sold to Australia and
the other two are in the process of being broken up. You are almost too
late but if there are any engine parts you require, please reply soonest.

With much thanks,
Kim N. Faulkner, Dartford, Kent.

Hi Claire,

Its a ZN3J PRV. Thats an Even fire 12 valve engine. Not really any good for a Delorean to be honest. Block might be handy but thats about it.

If anyone wants a FREE complete running engine of this type let me know.

Thanks Dan,

my own gut feeling was that the Peugeot version of the PRV wasnt quite the same as that used in the DeLorean/R30/Volvo's, but I thought I'd post the guys email here just to clarify.

Cheers,

Hi Claire

If you wanna fit an even-fire engine then it's great, but you cant use alot of the internals on a D engine
