[JOrchard]

Absolutely wonderful work. You sir, are quite talented.

I want one!

Thanks guys. Im very happy how this car turned out. It was a lot of work.

Josh seems the LS/DMC king! I love the light switches relocation and cruise control. Cruise is a must IMO.
Are those FoMoCo HVAC controls? How do they operate? Vac controlled?

Josh has undoubtedly turned LS swapping DeLoreans into a science.

If you have any legitimate interest in performing any type of LS swap on your car, I highly recommend you engage Josh as it's likely he can support you in getting the parts needed. Whether you're wanting to use an LS1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, A, or an LQ engine, and you want to use a Renault or a Porsche gearbox, Josh has got you covered. I'm sure he would also consult on other drivetrain options as well, but the LS setups are surely the go-to. Take the guesswork out and do what works!

Can an auto box be used in this swap?

The stock automatic box, absolutely not.
I myself have not explored any automatic transaxles behind a LS in our cars. There are at least two people that are exploring the feasibility of a 911 7 speed PDK.
The automatics are very large transmissions, something that will hold power will be a tight fit in the frame (likely require invasive modifications to the frame)

Thanks for the kind works from you and Nick. i love my cruise control. Engine aside keyless entry and cruise control are some of the best upgrades Ive done to my car.

The HVAC controls are from a 90s for F150. They are vacuum controlled.

PDK is something I think about a lot. Have some PDK-equipped Porsches in the the family - such a fantastic gearbox if someone can get it to work in a D. I assume the electronics/controls are a big hurdle.
