    Im surprised this thing hasn't sold yet. Don't see many DeLoreans in the $10000 range anymore

Maybe even the 2.9L Cummins Diesel.

    Ohhh the possibilities, but I don't foresee my self doing that anytime soon...
    You can do an EFI conversion on your Delorean and keep the existing intake manifold.

    If there is someone out there that can confirm the fit on a stock DeLorean engine - I have 2 or 3 spare EFI intakes and butterfly assemblies...

    I still have my original, stock engine sitting in my garage covered on a dolly; but unfortunately I took it out running perfect and I don't want to mess with it in case I decide to sell it as a whole, running assembly - otherwise I'd pop the intake off and check the fit.
