Blasphemy!

A unique thing about Deloreans, the motor is not number matched to the car. That means you can swap the motor and no one can ever tell it is not the original. This may be the time to install a Stage II motor from DMCH.

Honestly Dave.... honestly.... How could you possibly not realize that this a joke post? It even says in my signature right in the post that my car is engine swapped.

that is pretty good for a David T post.

Well, he is a guru, you know.

This isn't exactly true. The engines and transmissions were documented. How accurate are the documents I don't know I really never bothered to check. But it seems that this numbers matching thing doesn't affect the Delorean.



I'm referring too the documents you can order from DMCH.

DMCH had a card file on some of the early Deloreans. In some cases they had engine #'s, frame #'s, key codes, and vins. There is not much documentation that can tie things together. On most cars of the era (not Deloreans) part of the vin is stamped into the motor or the motor s/n is stamped on a data plate somewhere on the car. It was also "standard practice" to stamp the VIN number in a hidden place so if the car was stolen and the vin plates tampered with, they could find the hidden vin to identify the car. Again, not Deloreans. The only places you will find a vin # is the body plate in the driver's door jamb and the dash vin plate. Those numbers and the one on your Title and registration should ALL be exactly the same. In Delorean World there is no such thing as a "matching numbers" car.

I think a lot can be explained about David T's posts if you understand he's still living in 2012. I don't even see the Stage II offered on DMCH's website any more. I do see it on DEu for 13,466 EUR (nearly $15K), never mind shipping
and installation. So it's great that he's so keen to spend your money for you. Wouldn't be my choice, but you are almost better doing an LS swap (about $12K in parts). Or just find a good used PRV which pop up regularly (about $1500).

I mentioned the Stage II because it is a bolt-in option. A crate motor like an LS will require a lot of custom made parts. DMCH has a lot of stuff not listed on the website, you just have to ask. Yes, stock PRV's do come up from time-to-time but that Stage II has a bit more power. It is also possible to get a stock PRV and buy the parts and build a Stage II. The other option used to be install a turbo, either the Island twin turbo or the single turbo BAE. Those are rare now. Hey, what's wrong with living in 2012? There are two worlds now, pre-covid and post covid. Because I own a Delorean I get accused of still living in the 80's!

Can't bolt anything on if you can't get one.

Josh S et al will have to chime in here, but pretty sure considerable effort has gone into making it exactly bolt on. I'm not a huge fan of LS swaps personally, but
from a practical and price stand point, it now seems to make a lot more sense.

Anything DeLorean can be found it you pay up; that doesn't mean it makes sense. It's easy to spend other people's money

Just going to completely ignore that you were clowned by a super obvious joke post, eh, 'guru'?

Love these threads. I have nothing to contribute but that lol

Have any threads about your Esprit? I had an 87 HCi for a few years.

Not to toot my own horn, but this is my favorite David T post of all time:

The goofy thing going around popped into my head when I saw this.
I know what's wrong with it! It ain't got no gas in it!
