Here are two of the many different DMC sites that I have saved on my comp. You can use the web ring to find more. The Porsche trans was a 6 speed manual, don't know what model it was pulled from. I am assuming a 911 style car since DMC's are RR too.

I have a co-worker with a Delorean from the last year they were produced; he said the only direct-fit swap he's heard of is a turbo Volvo engine -- anything else requires significant bay mods. I'll show him this thread, he'll freak out. Subaruski, can you link to the original thread/source of the pics?
