This is by far the most elegant engine swap I've ever seen in a DeLorean. The exhaust solution is just gorgeous, I hope heat doesn't prove to be an issue. I wish the DeLorean vendors would offer a solution like this. DeLorean owners would be lining up by the hundreds to ditch their PRVs.
Oh, and it's so nice to see someone going with 245 series tires instead of going down to 225s. The current trend of installing 225 tires on DeLoreans is almost a fanatical, religious issue for me.

Good to see that someone is trying out the KW shocks/springs. They are always listed on eBay, but with a hefty price tag for the set. I'd be very interested to see how they ride. I agree that the purple/yellow is a bit jarring... you have to hope that its not just an austentatious thing and the quality is fully commensurate with the price.
