sweet! i've always thought a Delorean would be a great LS swap car. It should get to 88mph pretty damn quick now 
as for how slow they are. they raced one on the car show and it lost to a minivan

DeLorean owners tend to get pretty defensive when people talk about the lack of power in their cars but it's true. When mine dynoed in at 99.8hp, I could have cried. Damn thing couldn't even break 100!
As per the requirements of this project, its got to be fully functional by May. I don't forsee that being an issue right now.

I always wanted to do a replica of the coyote from season 2/3 of hardcastle and mccormick (it's a delorean chassis with different body panels) and a newer chevy V8
the stunt version can be seen at the beginning of this video as well as a better shot of the actual delorean hero car at :53.

this should have been the music playing when the delorean is accelerating to 88mph in back to the futuere

First issue is being addressed; mating the engine and transmission. If anyone has any advice, that thread is here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-tr...n-project.html
Thanks!

if my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious ****!
now all you need is the line locks and remote control system

[QUOTE=LS1DeLorean;15466078]Haha!! Wow, I have never seen that video before! Yea.... er... umm... it really is like that. Mine's (currently) an automatic also so that makes it even worse.
DeLorean owners tend to get pretty defensive when people talk about the lack of power in their cars but it's true. When mine dynoed in at 99.8hp, I could have cried. Damn thing couldn't even break 100!
Should have changed the engine oil in it. If it's anything like Grand Turismo 5 and you change the oil, you can get 5 more hp out of it. Cool swap, I'll be watching that one.

i knew someone in phoenix with a Delorean who built a flux capacitor because everyone always asked him where it was. but when it came to the mr fusion and people would ask "where do you put the beer cans and banana peels?" he would reply "in the trunk with the rest of the groceries"
