What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[Ashyukun]

That 3800 supercharged is what I put in my 1985 Fiero (my donor was a 96 bonneville) I didn't do any engine mods except for a smaller supercharger pulley. I've always dreamed of that engine in my Delorean. If you do the swap PLEASE document it here online.

What did you do for engine control? Keep the stock ECM or go with a standalone? If you stuck with the stock ECM, did you need it reprogrammed to account for the smaller pulley? That's something I'm obviously going to have to deal with as well in putting the L67 into my DMC. Also, mating up the L67's A/C compressor with the DMC's A/C system is going to be interesting.

I've not yet decided just what performance upgrades I want to do on the L67. A smaller pulley is pretty much a given, but I'm unsure of whether I want to go much further and get into putting in a higher-performance cam and rockers, adding an air/water intercooler, bigger injectors, etc. or not.

I may not fully document the build here since I'm already doing it over on the GRM board- here's the link to that thread: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/fo.../111506/page1/

Today I installed a LED 3rd brake light.

Finished installing all 6 of my new Grady gas struts. What a huge difference they made!

Then I pulled out the passenger seat and carpet to pull apart and try to clear the A/C drain hose. Successfully found it and verified that it was clear. Drove around a while.

Still need to charge up the A/C and track down a little coolant drip. Every year when the seasons change I see a little wetness at the hose/pipe joints and this year seems to be no different.

Today, #2613 got loaded onto a carrier. As you can see, we had to get creative with ramps, and we had to raise the front of the carrier a bit to keep from scraping the car's underside, but it worked out nicely. I inflated all of the tires to 35 PSI to make it easy to push.

The car will be heading to North Carolina, where I will join it in a few weeks for an engine transplant and whatever other work is needed to get the car driven again. As of now, it's been almost two years since I was able to drive it.

I wonder if I will see the car on Instagram ...

Good luck, Farrar. I think there are a lot of newbies here who don't fully appreciate how much we all want to see this car running again

Thanks, Jon! It's nice to know it's more than just me and Bill rooting for Ye Olde Sparke to get back on the road again.

In case anyone was getting nervous: I forgot to snap a pic after we put the ratchet-ties on the car. Fear not - it is secure!

Glad to see it coming together after so long!

Also, you better check Instagram everyday. People do crazy things when they see a DeLorean in the wild...

I have a manual, but I must say that's pretty cool!

Good job!

I removed the undercoating from the fuel tank closing plate.

You can see some of the black undercoating that I removed during the process.
